My Hazards and Blinkers on my VN are not working. They occasionally will intermittently come on, but 95% of the time they won't work.

I need my car fixed ASAP, but can't afford an expensive auto-electrical fix-it job...

Any suggestions please?

Thanx,
Belle :)

I'd try replacing the flasher relay first. Its located under the steering wheel, above all the fuses.

Also just look at the plug itself in the switchblock - when mine stopped working it's because I had not plugged it in property.

Yes, I had a similar experience, one of the pins had bent when plugging it back in, gotta be careful with those things!

Thanks for the feedback guys... I can't afford a newbie, so gotta try and get this piece of shite back on the road.

I feel like I :bang: at times with this bloody car! LOL

Will let you know how I go.

Cheers,
Belle ;)

I don't know if VN-Vp's are the same but on VR-VS's the problem is with the hazard light switch mechanism.
It is sometimes fixed by carrying out repeated operations of the hazard light switch.

I am thrilled to say the very least :D

* Blinkers/Hazards was a loose relay switch

Also rectified my dodgy speedo and reverse lights... blown fuse! LMAO
