'88 Audi Coupe, Hazard light problem
Hello!
My '88-9 Audi Coupe has a faulty Hazard light. It just stopped working the
other day! I have replaced the switches and the relay (under the dash). The
indicators work fine, though.
When I changed the switches over, the hazard light on the instrument panel
came on constant. The indicator lights came on when the haz switch was on,
but again, constant (not flashing).
I re-plugged in the switch, and the light went out. Now i'm back to square
one!!
Any suggestions?

Simon,
Check the wiring to the switch - www.audifans.com notes problems with
grounding for Coupe Hazard problems. Sounds like changing the switch
(moving the wiring ~ broken wire? , flaky connections in the plug?

Check the fuses. Last week I was driving without break lights for a few
days... The hazard light did the same as yours, just goes on and stays on.
Found a nice burned out fuse, replaced it and everything works fine again.
It seems like the hazard light also runs on the same circuit as the break
lights.

Re: '88 Audi Coupe, Hazard light problem
Check the wires entering the drivers side trunk hinge. They break and cause all
kinds of odd problems.
