Thomas c Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Can not turn off emergency flashers. Even disconnected the battery. When I reconnected it they turned back on.Has this happened to anyone else? What do I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbwt Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 The switch needs to be replaced. Disconnect the switch or replace it. The touch switch tends to fail apparently from other posts made on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) If the hazard button/switch is capacitative, it could indeed be the culprit as mac said. You can get a hard button switch now I think instead so the problem is less likely to recur. The other possibilities could be wiring and/or a fault in the BCM. If there are no other symptoms, these causes are highly unlikely.

Lugly Posted July 29 Report Share Posted July 29 $7.00 fix: - Momentary switch, 7mm with 7” red (R) and black (Bk) leads. (6 for $6.49, link below. I miss Radio Shack). - Start with the side (hockey stick) trim and remove everything. You will need a T20, a 7mm socket and a panel tool or large screwdriver to gently pry all the paneling off. - on the back of the display, disconnect the connector. About 1.5” from the connector, cut the black with whir stripe (Bk/W) wire and the Bn/W wire. - Attach (solder or crimp) the R lead from the new switch to the chassis side of the Bn/W. The connector side will remain cut and can be sealed w/shrink or tape or not. - Reconnect the Bk/W wires just cut and include the Bk lead of the new switch. SUMMARY: 1. Chassis end of the brown/white wire connected to the red lead of the switch. 2. Connector end of the brown/white wire not connected. 3. Black lead of the switch is spliced in to the black/white wire, which is connected to the chassis and to the connector. - drill a hole in the hockey-stick trim adjacent to the stupid triangle switch that comes on by itself. Mount the new switch. - Test everything. NOTE: If the battery was disconnected while doing this, nothing will work until 1-2 minutes after starting the engine.
