M Murto Petrolheads Dec 23, 2008 #1 Its not a big problem, just a weird one. Noticed it the other day when i was reversin, flicked on the hazards before i started and the rev's counter arm started jumpin like mad! Once parked it stopped. This ever happen to anyone else.

R Ralph Petrolheads Dec 23, 2008 #2 Definitely related to the hazards? Wasn't just that the car was cold? Could possibly be the MAF sensor

OP OP M Murto Petrolheads Dec 23, 2008 #3 Only ever happens when the hazards are on and the car is in gear, either forward or reverse. They rev arm just jumps like mad, but the car is running fine. Weird i know.

R Ralph Petrolheads Dec 23, 2008 #4 Could be a crossed wire between the indicator lights (on dash clocks) and rev counter...but the fact that its only when its in gear is an odd one Are the revs jumping or just the rev counter arm?

OP OP M Murto Petrolheads Dec 23, 2008 #5 Just the rev arm jumping. Think i should pull out the dash?
N northdublin Petrolheads Dec 23, 2008 #6 could it be the relay in the hazard affecting the altenator?
