Clio Hazard light problem - Job Done!

[Dan.86]

the neighbour has a problem with her clio, the hazard light button will not stay in so it keeps flashing unless its taped down.

renault dont seem to want to know.

anyone have a similar problem or know a quick fix?

perhaps somebody on a clio forum might pose the question

Thanks!

Friend of mine is having the same problem looks to be the last shape of clio 02+ one.

Mk2 ph2? Faulty switch iirc.

Happened to my car for a while. But I poked the button until it was near coming out the front grill and its worked fine since

''Hazard light switches can be dicky, had mine replaced not long after I got the car, common fault mate who works for reno said. £14, easy as to fit too.''

One of the white catches in the back of them break and they dont click back in. A couple of quid on the bay or at a scrappies does the job. For now a bit of card wedged in does the trick

 

[M@tt B]

Lol i had the same prob, i just took it out

Cro, do you still have the button? Need get new one but the hole in my dash looks a bit rare.

 

[Cro]

I remember this happened to me with my '04 clio

I had to drive down the hillsborough road with one hand holding the wheel and the other holding the feckin' hazard light switch in

seems to be a common fault with the Clio's

like cro-clio said it's usually the white switch on the back of it that has broken

I managed to reset mine without replacing it before selling the car on

Superglue it, end of the day who needs hazards on a clio, its not like it will break down

 

[Scuba Steve]

Mine done this plastic clip wore away replaced it n job done

 

[Jonto]

good old renault the only car manufacture that breaks hazard light switches lol

 

[Coog]

I broke mine on the Cherokee, but I was doing some interior 'repair work' with a hammer and managed to smack it clean off the steering column lol

Are hazards a legal requirement? If not I'd probably just disconnect the wiring at the back

 

[Dan.86]

New Question? How do i replace this?

dont wanna go in all guns blazing and break stuff.

 

[Cro]

screwdriver, pop the rectangular plate around it out, push the button out from behind and unplug. Reverse for fitting

it's pretty straightforward

get a small flat headed screwdriver or a small knife and push it behind the button and it should pop out when you start prying at it
