Nissan Figaro How to Repair the Hazard Light Switch

Have you ever experienced that when you cross a step with Figaro or Pao, hazards and blinkers turn on even though you are not operating it? My Figaro is so. Therefore, I am worried that the blinker will turn on every time I cross a step. First of all, pull out the lever of the switch.

Next, insert a flat-blade screwdriver from below to remove the decorative panel in the foreground.

Yes. After that, remove the ring, remove the connector and pull out the switch from the back to complete the removal. I removed the speedometer to ensure workability.

The switch on the right is the switch that was removed, and the switch on the left is the switch that was purchased as a spare. As you can see, there is a gap between the base and the main body at the red line. If there is an impact due to this gap, the contacts will turn on without any operation, and the hazards and blinkers will be on.

Seen from the side, it looks like this. The repair method is simple, crush the red circle with a vise.

Crush it with a vise like this. There are four corners, so let’s do it in four places. I didn’t use the switch I bought as a spare this time.

If there is play in the lever when the hazard switch is off and the hazard or blinker turns on due to that play, it is probably this symptomatology. I was surprised at the gap in the main body, but I was glad that it was fixed.
