Thread: engine turns off and hazard lights turn on

Normally you have to hit something pretty hard to set them off.

a wedge tailed eagle doing a strafing run into the passangers side vent flap on a d110 extreme will do it...

does the vent flap need to be opened or closed for this to happen.....?

Check out this thread - sounds a lot like the problem I was having in my Defender last year.

Turned out to be the main lead from the battery to the fuse box was dodgy - this was playing hell with the immobiliser/alarm/everything when it kept cutting in and out.

Thanks
but in this case all the electrics still worked, all the lights still on engine would crank over etc, only thing that didnt come on was glow plug light.
Thanks for all the advice
Cheers Keith

yep sounds like the immobiliser... my D1 does it also on very very hard bumps... they type i really should slow down for

If only I were going fast I would expect these things and except the fact that I was going to fast and maybe slow down, but 80km\h on a bitumen road is just silly

Having soft non-bullbar springs, with the bullbar fitted and hitting a washout at speed will also set the hazards off.

Or letting a Datto driver drive.

I found that I had to turn off the car lock it with the key, unlock, then restart, problem solved
