No Hazard Lights!

Post by Saltman »

Help

The hazard lights on my 2007 4.8GL do not work.
The left hand and right side indicators work the way they should, but not all 4 together when pressing the hazard switch.
I have checked all the fuses, but would like to know if there is a separate circuit or protection I can trace / check.
To which fuse is the hazard circuit linked, if any?

Where else can I check, before I remove and test the switch?
Any other suggestions would be welcome

Thanks
Herbie

The fuse is under the bonnet behind the battery. Open the cover and you will see another row of fuses.

Dis wat die manual sê:

Hazard warning lamps do not operate but turn signal lamps operate.

Possible cause

1. 15A fuse
2. Hazard switch
3. Open in hazard switch circuit

Repair order

1. Check 10A fuse (No. 48 , located in fuse and fusible link box). Verify battery positive voltage is present at
terminal q3 of hazard switch.
2. Check hazard switch.
3. Check harness between combination flasher unit and hazard switch for open circuit.

Thanks Guys

Found the problem!

It was the fuse in the fusebox with the fusible links behind the battery!
Why they could not fit most of the small fuses together and just make provision for the big stuff such as the fusible links in that box behind the battery, only Nissan will know!
Problem was that my thick cables to the rear of the car runs past that box and obscured my view and I could not see that there was a hazard fuse in there!
In opening the fuse box to replace the fuse and checking the wiring around it I found the source of the short - I should stick to things mechanical that I fully understand, fullstop. The additional fog lights and spot lights in the bumper was ... shall we say ... connected by an electrically challenged person ... me!

Thanks again - the power of the forum is again attested to (pardon the pun). :clap:

I got similar problem on my gq, although not fuse related.
Hazard switch never worked since i got the vehicle about a year ago. Indicators does work.

Removed the switch to have a look at it...

Found this old invoice in “service file” that original owner kept:

Now im wondering if there is not a generic switch available that would fit or must it be a nissan part? :think:
