Hazard light buttom illuminate in dark?

[yosin]

As above really.

I was looking for my hazard light button whilst driving couple nights ago and noticed that it wasnt illuminated along with the other buttons like the heater dials and fan speed dials.

I pressed the hazard button and it works but theres no light illuminating it in the dark.

Is this right, should it be illumuniated?

Bulb change, I have the same problem, just been lazy and not ordered a replacement bulb. Think its a T3 bulb

Is this by removing the head unit out and pulling off the hazard connector cable?

Yea - Dead easy

Need to do this myself. Thanks for reminding me!

I had the same problem with my car, it turned out to be a fuse in the fuse box in the engine bay.
It goes every time I remove my centre console and disconnect the hazard switch.
It's just worth a look before you go replacing bulbs.

Yeah it's definitely not the fuse as my interior light has gone too. (Checked and double checked) Might need a new bulb for that as well. But it was quite intermittent. Doesn't work at all now! Lol

Turns out I need to do this too - Doh! Replied to the topic and didn't even check my own!

What fuse was it for that matter? no harm in checking that aswell..

Well I took my hazard switch out today. Had to pull the stereo surround out to do it. Then there are two screws that hold the switch in place.


There is a red/maroon screw on one side of the switch. Turn it 90 degrees and then carefully pull the bulb out.




I couldn't get the bulb out without bending the connectors on the back of it. But once out I guess I can just replace the bulb.

Same way I changed the bulb on my fog light switch, you can get replacements from Maplin.

Did you get the whole part or just the bulb Max?

 

[RE Spirit]

I've been corrected - see Max post below

They can come in a whole part.

Just the bulb, take it out exactly as you did then replace with one of these, takes less than 5 minutes

But it needs to be a white one Max. Do they do white?

The bulbs are called Neo-wedge or T3. eBay sell the SMD LED types for about £5. Or Honda seem to sell them for £4.69 as per Topgeezers post.

Think I will opt for the Honda OEM.
