Hazards & Indicators

Discussion in 'Mech Tech' started by 75swampy, May 30, 2014.

  1. Was going to ask where the wire needed to go.
    My Big red knob flashes when I pull it out :)
    So it will glow when I'm driving at night? Cool
     
  2. It will :)
     
  3. Was it from JK? How much are they? :)
     
  4. They're available from most places (as fitted to Brazilian vans, I think). Got mine from Megabug, I think. The giveaway is the resistor on the top, which dims the internal bulb at night.

  5. Excellent any idea how much they are new?
     
  6. Google will tell you ;). Think I paid about £25.

  8. It was 25 quid ten years ago!

    Sorry to resurrect this but my indicators/hazards aren't working on my van. I've just bought a hazards flasher unit from Vw heritage and they still don't work :(
    I've not seen the unit as delivered straight to mechanic. However, the one I ordered corresponded to the part no of the one that came off the van.
    I've looked on megabugs site @75swampy and can't find them?

    @snotty - do you think the JK one would work? Do I need one with a diode to make it work? Mines a 78 US van :)
     
  10. I'm sure I ordered mines from jk. Straight swap like for like with me. Did your indicators work before? I checked my fuse first as I blew a fuse playing about with the old switch. ( yes I know I should have disconnected the battery :rolleyes: )

    Hi pkrboo,
    It's the hazard switch. I'm hoping to pick up an indicator switch? Tomorrow from GSF maybe that will work :)

    @75swampy I ordered mine from vw heritage but it looks like the JK one and I used the vw part no from the old one which was also used on both sites.
    I've only just picked up the van and they've never worked for me :( I've changed fuses but to no avail. The van had an mot so they allegedly worked at some point! Not quite sure when tho.

    @75swampy - sorry I forgot to ask. Is yours a US import? Did the JK part have a diode? Do you have the part number please?
    Thanks :)
     
  13. Mines is an 75 Aussie van but the switch I had was the same as above. Not sure how it came to be there. I'll check the part number. It's a hazard and indicator switch in one.
