Proper use of hazard lights. The flashing lights. I have seen trucks that have trailer lighting problems going down the road mile after mile with the flashers on. A faulty flasher will result in a indicator not working properly. If one flasher light (e.g. Le or right indi-cator) fails: 1. The flashing rate is doubled (E-control) or 2. Control lamp fails to respond (P-Control). ADVANTAGES Ensures the reliable control of the electrical loads in the vehicle. Standard on most late model cars and light trucks. Hazard lights and turn signals use the same bulb, so it is not the bulb, the lamp, or the cables to them. Turn signals only work when the ignition is on; hazard lights work whether the ignition is on or not. The two systems have separate power supplies, so they have separate fuses. You may have a blown fuse.

The WD40solution

I had the same problem on my 98 Grand Marquis. A Linclon Mercurymechanic told me the problem was most likely in the hazard flasherswitch on top of the steering column. He recommended I spray WD 40around the switch and push it down *and let it pop up several timesand wiggle it around. It worked for me - problem solved.Apparently, over the years gunk finds it way in there, be it dirt,liquids, etc. Furthermore, he said there is no 'flasher' you canreplace as you may remember in older vehicles. Good luck.

• The WD-40 squirted in the emergency flasher switch worked in my97 ford mustang. Thanks so much for the info.

• I have a '99 Ford F-150 4.8 Liter V8, and this seems to havefixed the problem. It began as an intermittant problem and hasgotten progressively worse over the past couple of months. Ithought it was only affecting my turn signals, but I laterdiscovered it also involved my brake lights. Moving the emergencyflasher switch up and down a number of times solved the problem.Thank you!

• This also worked for me I have a 1999 Ford Expedition. I movedthe hazardous lights up and down and the problem was solved.

• I thought I had checked the relevant fuses on my Ranger truck,but missed the one for brake-Emergency Flashers. My flashers wereon - the button in the extended position when the fuse blew.Because the fuse went I didn't know the flasher was still in the onposition. Therefore the turn signals and brake lights didn't work.It wasn't until I got the flasher in the off position that the turnsignals started working again.

• hey it worked for me too! i almost brought her in to thevultures till i found this. thanks!!!!

• Worked on 1998 Lincon Continental...moved hazard warning switchin steering column up and down....worked great! THANKS!

Tried the hazard flasher switch a few times and it startedworking but only sometimes. Sprayed WD40 into the hazard switch,exercised it a few times, and all OK now. Many thanks to theoriginal poster.

• Good Morning! Let me echo the repair of the WD40. I had thesame symtems of turn signals, flashers not working. Checked all thefuses. Went to Auto Zone to seek advise, They called FORD for me(really nice guys here in Warren, Pa) Ford pointed them/me to alight processcor that costs in excess of $200. A dealer only part)Auto Zone then suggested for me to access the web and seek out likeproblems which I did. Thank you to the original poster of thisissue and Auto Zone. Several squirts and I worked the switch...andpresto...everything started working again! No cost at all to fixthis prob. I already has the WD40!

• It worked for me too on a 1997 Ford Thunderbird! Took me 2 daysof checking things and not being able to use the care before I'Google'd' the problem. The Internet is great and so is your website! You should have an option for people to pay something if yousite helped them. This was worth at least $50 (and more if I wouldhave taken it somewhere).

One is for the turn signals and the other is for your emergency flashers. If your turn signals are not working, try your flashers. If they work, the problem is most likely the turn signal relay. Just put your finger on one and if you can't feel it… Read More

When you experience difficulties while driving like a flat tire, running out of gas, or an unfortunate accident, your vehicle can be immobile at the side of the road or worse, in an active lane of traffic. If this happens to you, turn on your hazard lights. The hazard lights on your car indicate to other drivers around you that you are in trouble or are having problems with your vehicle. They tell other motorists to avoid getting too close, and are a signal for help if the hazard lights are combined with an open hood.

How do the hazard lights work?

Your hazard lights are operated by pressing the hazard switch on your dashboard. On some vehicles, there is a button on the top of the steering column shroud, while on older vehicles they may turn on when a hazard switch under the column is pulled down. The hazard switch will activate the hazard lights on your vehicle anytime there is battery power. If your car stalls because you ran out of gas, have mechanical problems, or a flat tire, the hazard lights will work whether your car is running, the key is in the ignition or not.

The only time the hazard lights will not operate is if the battery is completely dead.

The hazard switch is a low-current on/off switch. When activated, it completes a circuit. When it is deactivated, the circuit is opened and power no longer flows.

If you’ve pressed the hazard switch:

1. Power is routed through the hazard light relay to the signal light circuit. Hazard lights use the same wiring and lights as the signal lights. The low-current hazard switch enables the relay to send current through the lighting circuit to the flasher.

2. The flasher relay pulses the lights. When power runs through the signal light circuit it goes through a module or flasher that only emits a pulse of power rhythmically. The flasher is the part that makes the lights flash on and off.

3. The signal lights flash continuously until turned off. The hazard lights will continue to flash until the hazard switch is turned off or there is no longer power flowing, meaning the battery dies.

If your hazard lights don’t function when the button is pressed or they turn on but don’t flash when engaged, have a professional mechanic inspect and repair your hazard warning system immediately. It is a safety system and must operate at all times.
