Default Hazard lights

Just been for my MOT and the car failed

They failed it on the hazard lights because the green indicator light on the dash doesn't flash when you turn them on but every thing else does.

Iv had the unit apart and cleaned all the connector but still cant seem to get it to work

If anyone could help it would be much appreciated

Thanks

John

generally either the actual switch flashes or the indicator panel in the binacal.

So long as there's some kind of flashing indication inside the car that your hazards are on it should pass.

Thanks guys

Yea the red button flashes but nothing else

Only thing that has got me angry is the fact that i cant use the car till at least Tuesday and i even went to a scrappy for a new module to find out that there’s nothing wrong with mine
