And Tiger probably still claim they have sold hundreds of chassis'

No trees were killed in the sending of this message.
However a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

the average IQ of the avon builder has gone up thus less posts on tinternet, very stealthy. We will all come out to play at once!

OK - you want to take on the challenge!! 
here is the schematic for my Hazard switch
 
Description
currently pin 6 is the supply from the flasher relay, 5 and 7 are the left and right indicator circuits. and i have 1 spare wire on the tiger loom - a
black earth wire I beleive....
I reckon that by connecting my earth to pin 3 I can get the light inside the switch to flash (however that would mean making a new link iside the
switch from the light to pin 3 direct.....)BUT .... how can i wire this so that the switch will illuminate steadily when the lights are on ???
I have stripped the switch down and it is hideously complicated inside so internal reworking will be very difficult......
Unfortunately this switch cost me £25 and my dash is now cut to fit it so don't want to replace it.....

Its from vwp and you can see it in the pics on my site or in my photo archive.
On train at the month so can't link properly. The switch links pins 1 and 4 when off and links 5,6,7. And 2,3 when on. These 2 sets of pins are
linked via the bulb.
Clear as mud?

At the moment, the problems with the Webcon system are solved, and I found a way to propel my waterpump the opposite way on my phase 3 Zetec. But I
'll be back when I tackle the electricity!

Dave, now I understand.
With that kind of sw (if your schematic is correct) you can't fire the bulb with sw off.
However I think it is not a problem, when you drive in the dark, if you have that bulb on you will hate it.
Thanks Rudy

Solved the problem.... by buying a new switch!!!
Got one from SVC, as usual very good service (24 hours phone call to delivery!) and the switch ended up costing £10 less (delivered) than the VWP item
- and looks better! (if you look on the SVC website it's the Hella one)
HERE
about 3/4 way down the page
This one arrived with a very complex wiring diagram and has 9 pins!!!
however after some experimentation with a multimeter I was able to work out the correct (5) connections and now it works beautifully! glows dimly when
lights are on and flashes with the indicators when switched on.

That's what I've got - it works very well, although the first time I used it I got confused! When the button is IN the hazards are OFF,
when it's OUT the hazards are ON.
Remember to keep the plastic cover thingy on when you go for the SVA, as it's got the correct symbol on it. It also keeps the switch dry, which
is a bonus.
cheers,
David

CA instruments, plus all the usual suspects
Yup - that's the beastie! I'm very pleased with it - I think it is actually nicer than the one it replaces - although the 9 pins in a spiral
were very confusing!
