Hazard lights won't switch off

Post by Sajiz »

Hey all,

Total newbie here...

The hazard lights on my 2018 Honda PCX 125cc won't switch off. Any thoughts on what the issue is and how I might fix it?

Thanks in advance for all your help and suggestions!

I take it they go off when the ignition is off? If they do,my guess is you have a switch fault, I would call Hondacare and get it back to your dealer under warranty.

Hazard lights usually stay on when the ignition is off.


I'd start by cleaning the switch

Thanks for the advice, folks!

Yeh, the hazard lights switch off when the ignition is off, so I'm guessing there's no easy fix with this one.

I'll take my bike to a dealer this week and will keep you posted on what the issue was, in case anyone else comes across a similar issue in the future.

Thanks again for the help!

At the beginning he says Hazard lights won't switch off, and then he says hazard lights switch off when the ignition is off... Maybe he is looking for a way to switch off hazard lights manually when they are not being used such as at noon? :S Isn't PCX has on lights, which by defaults the hazard lights are always on.. #Confused

Hazard lights in the UK refer to lights you put on in an emergency, ie all 4 indicator lights flashing,I think you are referring to daylight running lights

Ah could be... That would be why they switch off with the ignition.

The hazard switch was added to the UK (europe) LED 2014/5 version, probably to be EU friendly and meeting the new standard. If not required by law elsewhere, then Honda would save money and not fit it.
