Yeah, that seems funny to me too, but it happened. So you're saying that the hazards operating is essentially the hazard switch telling it to run both turn signals at once? And when this happens, the input from the turn sigs. is negated, or has no effect? Not trying to make things difficult, just trying to get clues into my non-electrical-saavy mind.
Actually, while I was playing around with the buttons and levers, there was a noticeable hesitation at one point - a half a second or so when nothing happened, then the hazards came on. Something was slightly amiss there, it seems to me, anyway, that a contact was dirty, or there was not enough voltatge being delivered or received. I'm just glad to have seen the flashing lights - it gives me something to chew on. Hey, ALSO: The dash light dimmer rings a bell for me. Where exactly is that located? I don't have the manual CD near me. Wait, isn't the dimmer switch, in the console toward the rear? I ask because I think it's fallen down into it, so I haven't seen it for a while. Haven't had time to tinker with the vehicle much yet. It's the rheostat, yes? Some of it's coming back to me now.
