Hazards are always on

I am haveing a problem with my hazards. They are always on. I have tryed unplugging the switch, but that has no effect. I ended up pulling the fuse, but my turn signals and horn don't work now. I'm pretty sure it is a short in the wiring, but what throws me off is that when i unplug the fuse, and plug it back in everything is fine for a few minutes, then it goes back to the hazards always being on. I do have a fuse in it that is too large, but i doubt that has anything to do with it. any ideas before i plung into the wiring diagram.

check the wiring under the fender liner. Sometimes the wires will get pinched/rubbed/shredded and that's been known to cause people problems with their flashers. You'll probably have to take the wheel off.



If that looks ok, you'll need to take a look at your CPU #2. It's down by the kick panel on the driver's side. BAM, PHOTO!

I had this problem when I first got my FD wired up. I'd connect the battery and the hazards would just blink for the first 10 minutes the car had power then stop. It was a problem with the aftermarket alarm that was rigged into the car. I had to completely remove the aftermarket wiring to fix the problem.

yeah it sounds like it is an aftermarket alarm that the siren is disconected and is arming and flashing the lights.

Happened to me the opposite and it was a trace on the actual emergency light button had to get it fixed to pass an inspection.

If you pulled the fuse out and it takes a few minutes for the hazards to come on again, then I have to agree that it could be bad wiring from an aftermarket alarm. I would say you have a short to power, but if that were the case, the hazards would come back on immediately after reconnecting the fuse.

My advice, take a look at the FSM's wiring diagram to trace it's entire circuit, so you can find out how they wired the hazards into the alarm
