Skl320 hazard wont turn off

Slk320
So, I had my battery die and I replaced the battery. Now the hazard lights won't turn off. Any idea where to start?

sounds like the headlight switch module or a stuck hazard button.

You should try the Forum dedicated to SLK's.. lot's of know-how there.

So Firstly, SLKFourms are super childish, I mentioned the ref from MBworld and they permabaned me saying spam.
So here is the FIX I got, it wasn't the Hazards but the brake lights. So I traced the clicking back to the Vacuum pump, I took it apart and found moisture, I cleaned it out with contact cleaner. put it back in and turned the car on and it still did it. turned the car back off and on and it stopped.

Odd. I saw your post there and then moments later it was gone! I'll have a word with the mods but it's understandable if you don't want to go back.

anyways, the brake lights were flashing and not the turn signals???

Well it came back, I'm confused now. its the brake lights, maybe parking, they blink in the front and rear as soon as you turn the engine on.

The SLK forum and specifically the R170 general discussion will have more focused info on your issue.
As to them being childish I dispute that and maybe it was the way you approached it.
Just find the sight and set up a user ID and PW then search your issue.
The moderator of that site could help out the W204 C63 AMG forum a helluva lot. That site is a tough space.
He doesn't put up with BS, he will bust your *** for not trying a search before starting a new thread but beyond that there are a lot of guys on there that offer a lot of help.

I have been around these MB cars since 1987 and around the forums probably 10+ yr from the W124, W208, W211, W212 W204, C117, T245 R172 and R170 twice.
When it comes to site quality IMHO the worst is the W204 C63. They treat new guys like crap and when proven wrong they lack the class to even quasi apologize. They get off belittling people who are not "as smart " as they think they are.
Now the SLK forum moderated by Jeff Banks is a classy, friendly helpful place to get help. Smart asses and abuse are not tolerated and Jeff likes people who try to learn through research on the site. It is a leaning thing because most questions have been answered. That said Jeff and others will point you in the right direction.
It is a civil place to chat and share our cars with other. I can only conclude from the comment posted here you might do well on the W204 C63 site.
