Hazards not blinking

My signals work but my hazards don't. when I put my hazards on the side markers, the tail, the signal indicators, and the front lamps lightup

even thought the signal indicators light up they don't blink, and the lights don't blink,

at first i had no hazards at all, when i pressed the button nothing would happen but my turn signals still worked, so i looked in my fuse center, there was no fuse connected just a wire running into where the fuse was suppose to be, so i unplugged the wire and connected a 20a fuse.

Re: Hazards not blinking

The flashers on my 84 SC is just under the dash on the drivers side beside the counsel, There are 2 of them right around there, one for the signals and one for the emergency flashers. I would start there.

Mark.

DANGER ! · · · · · · Hazardous Information

A defective hazard flasher cannot cause the brake lights to illuminate.

After you check the flasher, check the brake light switch for a non-opening contact.


Happy Racing!



How bout those too scared to drive without headlights in the daytimeand the ones that need headlights for a little rain

could you explain to me where to find the hazard relay, i removed two relays, a green one and a grey one from under the dash, it did nothing when i removed them, the signals still worked..... i know the hazard fuse also controls the brake lights, but even without that fuse in the brake lights work, my third brake lamp however does not work. at all.

okay nevermind i was looking under the panel and found out that blue wire i was talking about earlier connects to a orange wire that is connected to the brake switch, there is another orange wire aswell that has been connected, so originally the two oranges connected. I am going to reconnect the two orange wires and see what happens

Re: Hazards not blinking

As NINA posted now you need to see if that brake light switch shuts the power off to the brake lights when peddle is up.

Re: Hazards not blinking

This would be a good place for you to have a test light. If you can remove one wire and see if the brake lights go out with peddle up you probably found the problem. Sometimes that switch just needs to be adjusted. Get under there and take some time checking things out.

Re: Hazards not blinking

well it didn't do anything still the same scenario, i looked the at fuse box the owner had miss matched fuses everywhere, 20 amp in 10amp, 10 in 20 amp slot, most of them were upside down. I also discovered I have no reverse lamps either.
