Crom Cruach Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Problem #1 of many! the warning / hazard lights are flashing on and off continuously as soon as I connect the battery, draining it. I cannot see a hazard light button in the dash! What am I missing? (for clarity- both indicators flashing at the same time, front and rear.)

1970mcss Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 The button is on the steering column under the ignition lock cylinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crom Cruach Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 Found it. Pulls out to turn off! Next… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott S. Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 One thing you may find, as I did, is that as the plastic parts wear in the steering column. Sometimes the turn signal wouldn't turn off after competing the turn without pulling on the hazard button. This was due to the tab on plastic piece that the signal lever mounts on had worn out. Easy enough to replace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crom Cruach Posted December 23, 2021 Author Share Posted December 23, 2021 It’s harder to solve a simple problem when the flasher and the warning buzzer (seat belt alarm?) are draining the battery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked in the fire alarm industry for the last 10 years of my career, so annoying lights and buzzers became easy to ignore... lol As long as you keep a charger connected to the battery while you're working on things, you eventually stop worrying about draining it.

Just axin’ The Monte is a wide car over here - wider than my Audi A6 Avant, and some roads in my rural area are slender, will make for some interesting overtaking moves!

I bought a charger for it, if only I could fit it in my damn garage! I have about 2 inches tolerance either side of the entrance, and it’s only 16 foot deep so I have to turn before I hit the back wall!
