Hello from Paris everyone !  :france:

I've had this problem since I got my car, ( 70 challenger ) when I put on the hazard lights I don't have flashing lights in the back.

On the other hand, my turn signals work well, even behind, my brake lights too. an idea? I'm thinking of changing my turn signal switch.

Thanks in advance, and sorry for my english !   :help:

4 way's or hazards have there own flasher, located close to the signal flasher. Turn your signals on, and change the other flasher.

 If my flasher didn't work,  I'll have no light at all no ?
In my case, only front light is working during the 4 way's

Check the "flashers" on the brake pedal assembly and the one on the ash tray.  You should be able to swap them and see if one is bad.

Look between the 2 vice grips in the middle left of the second photo and you'll see the silver round flasher.  The one on the brake pedal is square.

If your fronts work, it might be in the wiring?   :huh:

Mopar94

yes I'll check the flashers.
I hope it's not the wiring that's at issue, because it's hard to find the problem....   :thumbdown:

I believe your issue is in the emergency switch on the turn signal switch. Give your turn signal a check with this document I put together testing the impedance through just this switch and see what you are reading. If you have any questions, let me know.

I agree with Jim
Likely the TS switch is the problem , as you said if the front lights flash all of them should & the flasher is OK
Standards part # is TW7 , Rock auto has them but the hazard button is wrong for 70 , you can trim down the button to fit if yours is a 70

Mopar94

my first idea is the turn signal switch. I hope so !

I'll keep you informed.

thanks for the advice and for the document  :)

I planned it, I bought it when I last ordered it. I'm going to try to change the button to put mine on. I don't want to cut my steering column.

The 70 only E or B body turn signal switches can be restored.  Keeping the original is the way to go. Swapping the knob would be one way to do it keeping it original looking.

Here is a link to one I restored.

Amazing job !  :bravo:

If I wasn't in France, I would have entrusted you with mine for a restoration.

can I put paint on the knob to rewrite the writing?

I would never cut the column just trim the plastic button down

Okay, I read too fast.

Good evening! I just switched the flashers, and the result is the same. As soon as I have time, I'll check the impedance of the switch.
