3 Symptoms of a Malfunctioning or Faulty Hazard/Indicator Relay
Description:
The hazard and indicator lights on the vast majority of road vehicles are controlled by a relay, also referred to as a flasher. The relay is an electrical device that controls the lighting by acting as a switch. According on the vehicle's specific needs, they come in a range of shapes, sizes, and designs. When current is given to the relay, the circuit within cuts on and off, resulting in the relay clicking sound and the turn signal or danger lights blinking. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Hazard/Indicator Relay
- While flashers are a basic component in both
design and function, they play a significant part
in a vehicle's overall driveability and can
jeopardise safety if they fail. If you check MOT
history of your vehicle and realise a previous
MOT failed due to the lights not working, there
could be two reasons for this. Either the bulb(s)
had blown, or it was a faulty relay. To confirm
this go through any previous repair invoices (if
available). - Are you aware that, according to an online MOT
history checker, one of the most prevalent
reasons for a MOT test failure is the lights? The
bulbs in your car's high and low beams,
left/right indicators, hazards, and other lights
may need to be replaced.
