3rd Gen hazard warning switch not flashing.

lclascaris · 11-30-2007, 02:51 PM

I have a 1996 3rd Gen Hilux Surf (4Runner). The hazard warning lights come on when the switch is pressed in & it makes the tell-tale sound by the switch but it does not flash, it also does not glow when the main lights are on like the rear window demister switch that is next to it.

So I put a new bulb in the switch & it still doesn't work? My next thought was to replace with a new switch but they are 35 GBP. Now thats not cheap especially if it doesn't cure the problem.

It is a bit of a pain when it's dark because you can't see the switch & I like my vehicle to be always right.

Can anyone please advise.

Many Thanks

Regards

Lewis

my hazard light switch has never "flashed" like your talking about. the only "flashing" on the inside of the cab should be the turn signals flashing...but as it's a hilux surf, then it's different...but i say check to see if it even has voltage going to it...

Does your hazard switch just light up when the lights on the vehicle are switch on?

Many Thanks
