Warning button removal

[VANVAN64]

Hello everyone,
I'm seeking some advice on how to remove the warning button on my dashboard. Let me provide some context:
Recently, I've been experiencing rapid blinking when using the right turn signal in my car. I've tried various troubleshooting steps, including swapping bulbs and checking the circuit board, but haven't had any luck in resolving the issue.


After seeking help on a French forum, I received a suggestion to use electrical contact cleaner on the warning button. While this briefly restored functionality to the rear blinker, the problem persisted afterwards.


Now, I'm looking to take the next step in troubleshooting by removing the warning button and cleaning behind it with an electrical contact cleaner. However, I'm unsure of the process to safely remove the button without causing any damage.


If anyone has experience with this or can provide guidance on how to safely remove the warning button from the dashboard, I would greatly appreciate your help.

While I'm at it, I will probably swap the button, if anyone knows the reference you could save me some time!


Thank you.
Ivan

What do you mean by warning button?

My apologie, warning button == hazard lights

Rapid flashing is usually a bulb blown/not working. Check the connections to all the bulbs thoroughly first. Include the side repeater bulbs.

I doubt it is a problem with the hazard switch. But being TVR, it might be!

When the fault occurs are all the indicator lights on the outside of the car working?

You’ll have to get the dashboard out so you can get behind it to release the switch.

New buttons are available

I am certain that all lightbulbs are working correctly! If only that were the problem

Does anyone have a procedure/ blog post/ photos of someone who has already removed the dashboard?
