95 SC2 4 way hazard lights non-operative

[Charles G.]

Turn signals seem to work fine, however.

I've not checked the fuse, though I notice that the fuse in question also seems to control the headlamp HI beam indicator, which I checked and works fine.

Do I need to replace the flasher unit? If so, what is the part no.? (I think I've seen them on eBay but want to make sure I get the right thing)

Thanks!

In what way are the hazards non operable? Do the turn signal lights on the dash light up and stay on, or does nothing happen when you release and enable that hazard switch?

I too have a 95 SC2. My hazard switch will, from time to time, not activate the actual hazard lights. Turns out it is from a light deposit of corrosion where the contacts on the switch meet the contacts to the rest of the dash circuit. I found that briskly enabling and disabling the switch about 20 or 30 times will clear the corrosion and things will operate as designed.

If this is your issue, please let me know if the above works for you. If your issue is that the lights on the dash come on but don't blink, just say so and we will troubleshoot in a different direction

You fixed it! Now it works fine.

To clarify, the whole hazard function was dead - neither the lights themselves nor the dash indicator were working. But a few dozen "on/offs" cleared up the problem.

THANKS!
