Hazard Warning Switch

[suevaughan]

Hi all, newbie on here but had my TR7 for 18 years and the hazard warning switch has become so corroded it wont work and MOT now not possible. HELP[:(]

Does anyone have one for sale or know of a second hand/new one. No joy with Rimmers.

take it out, disassemble it , clean the contacts and put it back together. it should work if the plastic bits aren't broken.

To illustrate this, piccie of one a the switches before ...



and after cleaning ...

Sue, try S&S or Robsport, both have a good selection of new used spares, I am sure one of them can help!

In the unlikely event they cannot help then there are two for sale currently on Ebay Motors (USA) - item numbers 150414654466 or 250536133516. I don't think there are any differences between the US & UK spec hazard switches.

Hi Sue... and welcome!

A bit of background info on your car \ whereabouts would be nice!

Are you in the South-East?

Beans... that looked like my main switch but you left some corrosion on the case...I can't believe you did that.[:D]

You don't have to buy a new switch, you can clean the old one for free using some Brasso or the like. But take pictures as you take it apart as it goes back several ways. I didn't and had to spend some time figurig out which contacts where N/O and which where N/C from the wiring diagram.
