Which Fuse is for the Hazard Lights?
2 Answers
Generally, vehicles have two fuse boxes, each with a cover that clearly indicates the name of each fuse. Situations requiring the use of hazard lights: 1. Temporary parking: If you need to pull over temporarily for an urgent matter (such as answering an important phone call), you must turn on the hazard lights to alert vehicles and pedestrians behind to yield in time. 2. Towing a malfunctioning vehicle: When towing a malfunctioning vehicle, the speed is usually low, and if it cannot keep up with the traffic flow or the minimum speed limit, it may affect the driving of vehicles behind. Therefore, hazard lights should also be turned on as a warning. 3. Slow-moving traffic on highways: In case of highway congestion where vehicles are moving slowly in a queue, hazard lights should be turned on to prevent rear-end collisions.
I've always been the type of car owner who enjoys DIY repairs. I remember one time driving home in a heavy rainstorm when my hazard lights suddenly stopped working, which really worried me. I knew that the hazard light fuse usually controls both the turn signals and hazard warning lights, typically located in the car's fuse box—either under the dashboard or near the engine compartment. The exact one? It's best to check the owner's manual because different car models have different labels, commonly marked as 'Turn Signal' or 'Hazard' fuse. That time, I first opened the engine compartment, found the fuse box, and the manual indicated it was fuse No. 10—if it's blown, you need to replace it. This incident reminded me that when car lights malfunction, you should check them promptly; otherwise, driving in bad weather can be very dangerous and may cause accidents. By the way, it's important to remember the fuse locations so you don't waste time searching during emergencies.
