So I've finally been around to work on some of the minor things on my car and I'm come across something simple that is just stumping me.

For some reason the hazards on my car do not work. Both left and right turn signals work, but when I push in the hazard button... nothing. Since both my signals work I concluded that its not the bulbs or the fuses, but I double checked them anyways and they are fine. So I went to advanced auto and bought a turn signal/hazard flasher relay because I know those are common to go out. I replaced that and still the same thing, both left and right flashers work and the hazards nothing.

I'm thinking that there must be something wrong with connections itself behind the hazard button. I just wanted to know if anyone had any other ideas or theories before I start to take the dash off.

Anyone?

Well, this is not likely, but mine take like a minute to kick on. Maybe yours are the same?

no idea..rip the dash apart time

On my Accord and on my Integra, you could pop that button out without taking the dash apart. I'd do that first and make sure it's plugged in tightly...

Sounds like it's the button to me. Try hitting it firmly.

How did you pop it off? Just use a flathead screw driver or butter knife or something? I'm not tyring to break things or scuff things up...

is there a relay for the hazards, either that or I'd check the acuall switch/button

dveit · 07-24-2008, 09:35 AM

yes there is a single relay for both the turn signals and the hazard lights. the relay is good, i tried switching it with a new one, no go...

however, it wasn't a honda OEM, just one that I got from advanced auto.

Update: I took the center dash peice off and played with the hazard switch and still nothing.

Now when the I push the hazard button in only the left turn signal blinks, and its very sensitive, like for example, if I push the button to the right a little none of the lights come on yet when I put pressure on it to the left only the left signal comes on.

Bah. All I want is my fuckin hazards.

sounds like it's the button. check the wiring to it or just buy a new one.
