Hazard warning lights

[Udders71]

Hi all, I may have a small problem here, of which I may require some help.
I've just started my bike (05 GS) after a couple of weeks, and checked that everything is still working. I've switched on the hazards, and now I can't cancel them. I've disconnected the battery, and as I reconnect, after several attempts and timeings, they they are, still blinking away.
Any ideas?

The relay will be sticky.
You will need to find it and give it a clean of and a squirt of something and see if that helps.

Only factory standard I think.

The hazards are activated by pressing both left and right indicators, as opposed to having a separate button.

When I turn my indicators on I can hear something clicking in and out!
It may not be serviceable but there is a relay.

As some bikes (as per brochure) have a single button on the left handlebar. That's why!!!!

 

[Udders71]

So any other ideas why they not cancelling?

Have you tried pressing the hazard light button??

is there not some reset involving holding both indicator paddles down for 5-10 seconds?

Do you have to have the ignition switched on in order to turn them off?

I'll give that a try. Cheers

I've tried with ignition off and on. Using the normal indicator cancel button, even disconnected battery, and they still come back on as soon as I turn ignition on. ????

Kinds tried that, but I'll hold them for longer. Cheers

Had a similar problem - indicators not cancelling. problem was a fatly switch. Vines changed the switch while I waited only took them 10 mins

I would guess the "off" indicator switch is broken then.

In my case it was the left "on" switch that was broken, so the left indicater would turn itself on without warning and as soon as I switched it of it would start again. Only the switch part needed replacing not the whole left hand switch unit. I got the impression this was not unusual. It would be very strange if both left and right "on" switches whent wrong at the same time but conceivable that the "off"
indicator switch could be faulty

Don't think so as both indicators, and cancel button work fine normally???

Except you can't turn the hazards off so how do you know that's still the case?
