Hey Guys, I have a strange question. I bought a 68 valiant with little knowledge of where the car came from and who had it before the owner I purchased it from. Anyways, I was checking all the instruments and whatnot and tried my hazards. But they wouldnt work. So I tried my turn signals and they worked fine. Then I left my hazards on and tried the turn signal (just by chance) and the hazards work! I dont know if this is just what valiants do or if the po messed with the wiring to make the hazards work. I have gone through lots of posts on here just reading as much as I can to get more schooled on these cars and I came acrossed the post about updating the instrument panel (I believe it was slantsixdan). I know that the gauges dont work and the dash lights and more. So I was gonna do that update on the instrument panel but I didnt know if the hazard problem had any relationship to this or not. The wiring in this car seems pretty brittle and I even saw some wires under the hood that looked melted. Sooooo anyones input would be well appreciated. Thanks in advance, Dan

The hazards and turn signals use common circuitry but separate flashers. Sounds like you need to replace the hazard flasher unit.

Too many people who were born on third base actually believe they've hit a triple.

The hazard switches don't get used often and sometimes corrode a bit inside and don't work - I gave a shot of WD40 to our '68 switch, worked it a few times back & forth, and it was as good as new.
