Hazard lights.

[Paul]

Going to have a go at having the hazard lights turning on when in reverse, it's the one with the switch in the radio, read somewhere here the wire I need to get feed to, just can't find it now.
Anyone know which wires they are?

did you not know it is illegal to operate your hazard while moving? Rick

Solarman is correct, if your moving your not a hazard. Maybe better to get on of them "This truck is reversing" horns.

Ah, but, look you, I see some modern cars have their hazards that go on automatically when they brake hard :augie

because if u brake hard u r a hazzard and highly likely will be stopped:augie

Along with the rest of the plonkers on the outside lane of the M/way

Tbh, I think it's a lot of work for somthing that's illegal, just press the button when reversing. Simples

 

[Lazy-Ferret]

Aside from the above, looking at the wiring diagram, you need to momentarily earth Green/Red wire into the TCM.

I would be careful, as the TCM controls a lot of stuff on the car, and if you get it wrong, it could be expensive.

did not know that, so how do they get round the rule that says hazards must not be used when moving, also I have heard of a local school bus that was prosecuted for using its hazards while picking up passengers, far too complicated ???, Rick

I don't know mate but I think it's a new EU bolognaise of an idea. Hazards only come on when ABS activated I think. To do with all the tailend smashes on motorways, so dozy driver suddenly wakes up too close to the bumper in front, slams on the anchors and the silly sod behind him again parks in his boot
EU says hazzards go on in that case. BMW and Volvo fit them amongst others I'm sure. Google it and be depressed

don't think I will bother, too many other more important things to do, worst thing we ever did was join those idiots accross the water, they are all sick and we have suffered as a result, Rick

Your almost correct, My BMW has the red stop lights (Brake lights) flash under hard braking, not the hazard lights.
