TReslaV8 Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 Hello all, just updated side lights and indicators to LEDs (I know this is not to everyone’s taste but bear with me!) and whilst they all work fine the hazards don’t. I changed the indicator relay to a LED specific one and have a further LED relay to swap for the hazard one, but I can’t find it! According to Haynes it should be behind the fuses behind the glove box but I am not convinced. Certainly nothing the right shape visible (lovely position, upside down, head in footwell, feet waving around the headrest) so any ideas of where it might be? It’s a 1982 registered UK RHD convertible. David Quote
Howard Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 Sorry to tell you, but it really is at the back of the glove box. I have replaced two of mine and they are in the same location on '81 cars. FYI I installed the replacement electronic flasher relay under the central console cover after extending the cables to simplify future replacement. I think I have a photo or two and a drawing which I can post if it would help. Quote
Howard Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 PS are you still looking for the owners manual for your car? Cheers Howard Quote
Howard Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 Location of hazard flash is shown on the top diagram from Revington TR in the attached sketch. From personal experience it can be accessed from below.. 2D-08L.jpg (JPEG Image, 829 × 1150 pixels) – Scaled (95%).pdf2D-08L.jpg (JPEG Image, 829 × 1150 pixels) – Scaled (95%).pdf2D-08L.jpg (JPEG Image, 829 × 1150 pixels) – Scaled (95%).pdf2D-08L.jpg (JPEG Image, 829 × 1150 pixels) – Scaled (95%).pdf Quote
TReslaV8 Posted April 22, 2023 Author Posted April 22, 2023 Thanks both, that’s really helpful. And thanks Howard, I did track a handbook down - but appreciate your help on that even if I failed to get down to you! Quote
Beans Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 Hazard flash unit is the silver rectangular unit (in this case on a LHD car). Quote
TReslaV8 Posted May 3, 2023 Author Posted May 3, 2023 Many thanks all, I did find it, neatly tucked out of the way behind the carpet under the centre console- the previous owner had replaced it with a. Standard cylindrical one and moved it from the back of glove box position. Anyway all sorted now and LED works on the hazard switch. Once agin big thanks to everyone who responded, it really is a most helpful forum! Quote
