Will this fail the MOT (which is in 2 days)

Does anyone know of this problem and how to fix.

Thanks

Do some aerobics with the hazards switch. It rarely comes to work - and then the switch contacts are prone to get corroded.

The hazards switch has a dual function : it connects both sides blinkers circuit together - and connects these to the (standard) blinkers relay.
Seems to be one side switch contacts corroded - or the swich multipin conector not fully homed - on rear of the switch.

I'm not sure your MOT tester will bother check it out - he will be much more interested in the normal blinkers function.

Just tried it and hey presto it works, Jiggled and pressed switch repeatedly and now I have the hazzards back working properly.

Thanks for that

Just for info - they do check the function of the hazards for the MOT. A xantia I MOTd last year failed because the switch was faulty!!
