Why does the Chery Ant's hazard lights keep flashing?
2 Answers
Chery Ant's hazard lights may keep flashing due to a circuit issue in the vehicle's computer. You can try using a spare key to check if there is an electronic fault. It could also be that the vehicle computer has detected the anti-theft chip. Car hazard lights: Car hazard lights, also known as emergency flashers, are warning lights that cause both turn signals to flash simultaneously. In severe weather conditions, such as heavy rain or fog that significantly reduces visibility, you can turn on the hazard lights and proceed slowly. However, hazard lights should not be used as a substitute for fog lights. The second scenario is when a vehicle breaks down or is involved in an accident on the road. Turning on the hazard lights can alert passing vehicles. Generally, drivers will slow down when they see hazard lights and proceed only after assessing the situation ahead. Solution: If the hazard lights keep flashing and cannot be turned off, it is likely due to a problem with the control unit. You need to check if the hazard light relay is functioning properly. Use a multimeter to test the output line of the hazard light relay to see if there is a 12v output.
The other day I drove my Little Ant to the supermarket and found the hazard lights kept flashing non-stop, drawing stares from everyone in the parking lot. I've encountered this situation twice before, mostly because a car door wasn't closed properly or the trunk wasn't locked securely. The anti-theft system thought something was wrong with the car and started flashing like crazy. Another time, I accidentally pressed the emergency alarm button on the key fob, but pressing the unlock button again stopped it immediately. My suggestion is to first open and close all the doors again, check the trunk latch, and then try locking and unlocking the car. If it's still flashing, it's likely that the hazard light switch is stuck or the body control module is acting up, and you'll need to take it to the shop to check the wiring. Don't panic if this happens—the battery won't drain that quickly, just take your time to troubleshoot.
