Hazard Lamps

The hazard switch is in the center of the instrument panel to the right of the instrument cluster. The hazard switch controls the operation of the hazard lamp circuit. Press the hazard switch to the ON position in order to cause the turn/hazard relay to disengage the turn signal circuit. This will engage the hazard lamp circuit. The turn/hazard relay is located on the back of the junction block. The junction block is located beneath the left side of the instrument panel and is mounted to the left front side door hinge pillar. Engaging the hazard lamp circuit causes both turn indicators in the instrument panel cluster assembly along with all exterior turn signal lamps to flash on and off. The hazard lamp circuit operates regardless of the position of the ignition switch.

Press the hazard switch again in order to return the switch to the OFF position and disengage the hazard lamp circuit. This returns the turn/hazard relay to the turn signal mode.

Refer to Hazard and Turn Signal Flasher Replacement for turn/hazard relay removal and installation procedures.
