funny blinker fact

So yesterdaywhile pulling out my gauge cluster to unplug the CEL light to pass smog : P, I unplugged the Hazard light switch, and when I put everything back together I forgot to plug it back in. So today on my way to my girlfriend's work I notice my blinker light not lighting up when I turned it on. So I pull into a gas station parking lot and check to see if they are even blinking, and they weren't. And ofcourse the Hazard's didnt work either. When I got home I pulled off that black faceplate that goes over your heater controls and gauge cluster to find the Hazard light switch not plugged in!

I plugged it in and now everything works fine. So don't ever forget to plug this back in if you are pulling your dash or just the black faceplate. I dont know why but your blinkers wont work without the Hazard switch plugged in.

I noticed something like that a while ago too

I had a pop in the cupholder and it had the hazard light putton pushed in. Even tho the hazards werent on, the blinkers wouldnt work.

The hazard switch happens to be wired into the blinker system so its absence usually does tend to cause a problem.

also note that if you unplug one connector for the window switch on any perticular door, the entire power window system ceases to function.


At least on the driver door.


Fun times trying to find out why your damn windows won't work.
