Hazard switch ticking

[geoff_gti]

Where is the ticking coming from? The relay switch is behind the Hazard button, not the indicator stalk.

I had a similar thing with the relay last year & the indicators (in the dash cluster at least) would flicker on & off too. Fortunately it stopped after a few occurances and hasn't happened since!

I did find a leak in my windscreen seal around the same time so it's possible a bit of water had run down behind the dash and caused a hiccup, but that could be coincidence too...

its coming from the hazard switch not the indicator stalk and the indicators arn't going off neither are the dash lights. Ill give the stalk idea a shot i guess if it doesnt stop anytime soon.

Just a thought, it's not the air direction flap servo clicking is it? I had that once, a clicking from the dash that sounded like it was around that area.

Does it stop if you put the air flow on to recirculation?

Mine was also the hazard switch ticking as the flasher / relay for the indicators is there. My indicators also weren't flashing when the ticking was occurring and there was no sound coming from the indicator stalk (nothing there to make a sound anyway).

Few links that made me confident it was the stalk after the dealer diagnosed it as that (i thought it was the relay at first too)

Nah i can feel the relay ticking through the button when its clicking.

Cheers i think il take it out and spray some contact cleaner on it first before i buy anything

The same thing happened to my MK4 Polo - the flasher relay had to be replaced. I took it somewhere (i am hopeless at fix-it-yourself) cost about $40. When i pressed the hazard light button, it ticked normally. The dash lights (blinker ones) would flash dimly but the actual light bulbs on the car wouldn't turn on unless i asked them to (hope that makes sense - i'm not technically minded at all...)

My Bora does the same thing. The dealer diagnosed it as the flasher stalk. I haven't done anything with it as yet. As none of the outside lights flash when it clicks i have just learned to put up with it for the moment. It doesn't do it all the time.

Yay, Managed to fix it with some contact cleaner into the end of the stalk nearest the steering wheel. Cheapest and easiest fix so far on the car. Just remove the top plastic and spray into the end and wait an hour. Seems to fix it so far.
