hi my name is col, , just started up my 1998 gu 4500 patrol this morning and the hazard lights started comin on and off at random and the indicators would work for a few second and then change to blinking hazards they are all over the shop haha, does that sound like a relay switch fault and if so where the hell is it and how easy is it to get too any advice would be very much appreciated
cheers col
I would say a problem with the hazard switch, either that or you just don't use the indicators and pretend you drive a BMW.

Try removing the hazard light fuse (it’s in the fusebox under the bonnet) and see if it still plays up.
Wot he said ^^^
Eliminate the hazard control circuits first and if the problem is still there it can be anything from grotty trailer plug, wiring shorts, indicator earths etc,
Could still be the hazard switch, bridging the left and right indicators.

All things are possible but pretty unlikely.Quote:

If the hazards 'appear' to activate only when the indicators are on then it would be a bit higher on the 'possibles' list altho that symptom is maybe 50% or more a damaged/corroded trailer plug or harness
But, I agree, it could be lots of weird faults... or even other systems IE theft alarms, remote locking, prev owner 1/2 rrsed mods, etc,
It just pays to eliminate the easy stuff first
