Hazard lights

Need to get the car MOT'd but the Hazard lights have stopped working. I assume this is a fail if they don't work?

Indicators work fine but no hazards. Thinking it was the switch I got a replacement unit on eBay but no joy. I can only assume its the flasher unit or a wiring fault.

Problem is the car (not built by me) has the flasher relay bolted on a metal plate behind the steering column. The only way to reach it is to remove the dashboard and steering column assembly. Argh....

Looks like this is going to be a big job for what is probably a very simple fix What with work commitments I can't see me being able to get this done in quite a while.

Dave,

I can come over some time this week, and we can have a look

If the hazzards did work and now do not, i cant imagine its anything serious,

Have you "fiddled " with anything that could of misplaced a wire?

Do both sides indicators work in the correct fashion ?
If they do, I cant see it being a problem

Steve, that would be great.

I've not touched anything since it went in the garage for the winter.

As far as I can see its got a single flasher relay for both indicators and hazards and as both indicators work fine and the hazards don't I suspect is a loose wire. The problem is that its all a bit inaccessible.

I've got some beer here waiting.
