What is the reason for the hazard lights automatically flashing again after parking and turning off the engine?
1 Answers
After parking and turning off the engine, the hazard lights automatically flashing again is due to a problem with the control box. It is necessary to check whether the hazard light relay is functioning properly. Use a multimeter to measure the output line of the hazard light relay to see if there is a 12v output. If there is intermittent output variation, it indicates normal operation. If there is no output or a constant 12v output, it means the hazard light relay is damaged and needs to be replaced with a new one. The functions of hazard lights in a car: Vehicle breakdown: If the vehicle breaks down suddenly while driving on the road, move to the roadside or the emergency parking lane on the highway, turn on the hazard lights, place a triangular warning sign 150 meters behind the vehicle, call the police or request assistance, and ensure the driver and passengers stay away from the broken-down vehicle to avoid secondary collisions from passing vehicles. Driving in rainy conditions: Rain reduces visibility, making it difficult to see other vehicles. In such cases, turn on the hazard lights to alert other vehicles of your presence. Emergency malfunctions while driving: If an emergency malfunction occurs while driving, such as brake failure, turn on the hazard lights and headlights, and use the horn to alert pedestrians and other vehicles to move aside, then find a way to stop the vehicle. Temporary parking: When temporarily parking on the road, especially in non-motorized lanes or when borrowing a lane, turn on the hazard lights to alert passing vehicles and pedestrians for safety. The driver should not leave the vehicle casually, as this could lead to more severe consequences in case of an accident. Traffic accidents: After a traffic accident, immediately turn on the hazard lights to alert passersby, then exit the vehicle to call the police or handle the situation.
