Hazard Switch Wiring

Anyone got any good tips for wiring the Hazard switch?

Do I need a 6 pole switch or can I get away with a 2 pole and some trick wiring?

Cheers,

Pat...

So that's what I need.

Just struggling to find a matching toggle switch with such connections.

If you can't find a suitable switch then just use a relay which has a two isolated outputs.

hope this diagram helps

but in words - connect the centre terminals of the 6 pole plug to the indicator lamps. connect 2 poles above (or below) centre pins to your hazard flasher. connect the remaining 2 pins to your indicator switch, and then through the indicator switch to your indicator flasher...

the 6 pole plug lets you isolate the hazard and indicator circuits..

try maplin.com (might be .co.uk) i paid about 1.50 for a toggle- you need a double pole double throw (DPDT)

hope this helps

Cheers - will look into Maplins when I get home. Just have to find somewhere where I can get 8 various toggle switches that all match and all have rubber covers!

Hi James,

Did the one from Premier look similar?

Or I could use one "Maplin" switch for the sidelights and one "Maplin" switch for the headlighs.

Cheers,
