Hi all, thanks for the add..I have just purchased a freelander TD4 2.0 diesel 53 plate. On way home indicators worked fine however realised the hazard lights didn't work and the switch is not lit. A day later and now the indicators have also stopped working ! .. I have checked all fuses under steering wheel and under bonnet and swapped the relay for another one in the car into the far right relay slot as per Haynes manual but still nothing ...can anyone help if any known issues, as currently cannot drive thanks Marcus
No indicators or hazards

Hello Marcus.
You now entered the maze of fun. The last question you had asked before on introduction section about the steering coil. Yeah this is a problem that crops up when the indicators don't worry radio volume or any other stork functions play up. It sits behind the steering airbag. So really if this is working okay then no problems. As for the hazzard lights they are separate. Have you checked the indicators outside are not working also. If so does the dashboard display show the red triangle and the trailer flashing.

First thing I'd do is replace the flasher unit. It's responsible for feeding the power to the indicators, via the stalk switches. The stalk switches are generally pretty reliable, so I'd go with the flasher unit first.
The hazard switch simply joins all the indicators together, again using the same flasher unit, so this also points to the flasher unit.

Thanks for the info and there are no lights on dash when I turn them on and also not working outside , however I have noticed when I lock the car they flash! .. I have ordered another hazard switch as this doesn't light up at all and appears dead. This wasn't working when I bought but indicators were. I will check the volume controls etc later when I get home from work.. cheers
The indicators are also fed power by the alarm ECU, which is completely independent of the the normal indicator flasher unit.
It's not uncommon for the little bulb in the hazard switch to fail.
The steering wheel controls aren't anything to do with the indicators.
If the flasher unit isn't working, then the hazard switch won't do anything.
The indicators are controlled by flasher unit, which isn't a normal relay, so can't be swapped with anything else in the fuse box.
The flasher unit is the black box on the bottom right, in this picture.
Thank you I will get another and try it
I've just looked at the wiring diagram, and it appears the hazard lights are powered by the CCU (Central Control Unit), so doesn't use the normal indicator flasher unit. This could point to an issue with the CCU, however I'm not 100% sure how the 2 circuits connect, and where, or what happens to the indicators, if the hazard switch is in the on position.
Ahhh man! ..I hear pound signs when I hear of CCU mentioned
You can put the CCU in test mode, which will test its function, including the hazard lights.
Here's how do put the CCU in test mode.
Yes, it's the rear fog light.
It's easy to put it in test mode. I did it to mine last summer, although I've now sold it and moved on to a badly maintained FL2.
That's interesting. That means the CCU still uses the flasher unit, just routing the flasher through both sides. Clever ah.
Glad it's working.

Does on mine.
You need the Landyzone witch doctor to dispel the bad vibes.

Trailer symbol should only flash on once unless trailer connected with extra load.
Worth checking you haven't got a short somewhere which could have caused the last flasher to fail.
