What to do if the turn signals and hazard lights of Honda CRV are not working?
1 Answers
Honda CRV turn signals and hazard lights are not working: First, check if the bulbs are burnt out, since the turn signals and hazard lights share the same bulbs. Then, inspect whether the fuse is damaged. If the fuse is intact, the issue likely lies with the hazard light switch. If the cause of the malfunction cannot be determined, it is recommended to visit an auto repair shop for inspection and replacement. Below is some relevant information about turn signals and hazard lights: 1. Turn signals are crucial indicators activated when a motor vehicle turns to alert surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. The turn signal tubes use xenon tubes, controlled by a microcontroller circuit, with alternating left-right flashing operation. Turn signals employ flashers to achieve light blinking, which can be mainly categorized into resistance wire type, capacitor type, and electronic type. The resistance wire type can be further divided into thermal wire type (electrothermal) and wing type (spring-action), while the electronic type includes hybrid (relay with contacts and electronic components) and fully electronic (no relay). For example, the spring-action flasher operates on the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, using the heat effect of current to cause sudden movement of the spring plate, thereby connecting and disconnecting contacts to achieve light blinking. 2. Hazard lights are essentially turn signals, which are among the lighting systems most prone to malfunctions in vehicles. If your vehicle's turn signals malfunction during regular use, immediate repair is necessary.
