Hazard warning lights not working.
Hi all, have my MOT tomorrow, went out to check lights, tread depths etc earlier and noticed that when I switch on my hazards only the LH indicators flash! All work ok under normal indicating!
Can anyone give me an idea of what to check in a hope that I can get it working before it goes to the garage in the morning? Thanks Sent from my iPhone |

Re: Hazard warning lights not working
with the hazards on, flick the RH indicator on and see if this makes them light up. May just be a dirty contact in the switch.

Re: Hazard warning lights not working
Are they even tested in the MOT?

Re: Hazard warning lights not working
I don't believe they are compulsory on a bike, however they still come under the category of-if the switch is fitted, they must work (same as front fog lights)

Re: Hazard warning lights not working.
I had this a while back and all it took was cleaning out with electrical contact cleaner. A simple fix on my bike that has not played up again since, so give it a try on your bike.

Hazard warning lights not working.
Reading some mot stuff online when I found my pass switch was not working i read that for cars it is tested for bikes I can not say.
It all depends on the tester these days... |
