W208 hazard button is intermittent

Hi mbworld,

Everything works fine, headlight washer & central lock but my hazard seems to be off. When you press it half way down, it engages but when you click and let go, it stops blinking. Sometimes it would work on the first try, but recently it just gets worse. To the point that i cant get it to turn on when needed.

Ive ordered a used switch from someone parting out and i'm waiting for it to arrive but i am not sure if this is the solution.

Any ideas?

i had that happened and i took the swotch apart and noticed that the spring clips are broken so i just purchased another one sinec there was no way to repair it. I have an spare one, make me reasonable offer and its yours. it comes with the hazard(red) and the switch to the left and right and its very easy to change.

I figured as much. Thanks for sharing! I had just purchased a used one from someone parting out last week. If I receive it and it doesn't work let me get back to you. Where are you located?

How did you replace the switch? Did you have to remove the wood panelling?
A guide would very much be appreciated!
