I have a n reg disci TDI. Yesterday the hazzard light switched themselves on and would not go off. I have taken the fuse out but can still hear the relay ticking in the drivers footwell. I have identified the green box buy pulling out the wires. In the picture it is the green box with the yellow dot. I can not remove it at the moment but there is room to put a replacement.

Can some one indentify what it is for me please and where i can get a new one.

Part of the alarm system there's a crash inertia switch inside the unit and if u hit a bump hard the hazards flash and if the doors are locked they will unlock, reset is by tuning the ignition/starter switch on and off.

Sounds like the same problem i had, its the alarm. Have all the doors unlocked and C/Locking system stopped working too??

If so, put key in ignition, turn on then off, mine was ok after that, but it did take me three hours to find out.

i have tried the on off bit and it has worked the hazards no longer permanently on, but when i switch the central locking on they switch on.

Any ideas

You do get an indication on locking/unlocking from flashing indicators, one on unlocking, three on locking. Any more than that then we have a problem.
