Indicators work, hazards don't work properly. - SV650.org

This has been puzzling me all day for no other reason than i can think of no real reason for it to happen... All of my indicators work correctly when used with the switch on the LH switchgear however when i put the hazards on only the right indicators (both front and rear) come on...

Any thoughts anyone!?

Mine did this a little while back. Checked the relay was in correctly and sprayed some contact cleaner into the RH switch gear. Next day everything was fine and has been since!

Not much help i know, check connections and spray some contact cleaner in the RH switchgear. It may help!

Pull out a wiring diagram and look for the connectors that are used exclusively by the hazard switch.
You know the indicators, and wiring back to the indicator switch is good, but you may have a dirty switch contact or connector that's only used by the hazard switch to bring them both in together.

Lazy first attempt would be to spray some contract cleaner or wd40 into the switch housing and press the hazard button a couple of dozen times and see it'd that cleans up the contracts.
