Hey there guys,

I'm going to be bidding on and hopefully winning an Accord SIR this Thursday. The only problem with it is the hazards are stuck on. What fuse would I pull so I can drive home without them being constantly lit up?

Will sort them out properly when I get home.

Also do you think 244,000 KM is too high for an H22A engine? The car looks in great condition cosmetically so hopefully this reflects the engine.

 

I posted before, but it didn't show up.

You should get a buyer's inspection done on the car. If that isn't possible, ask the seller for documentation of the service done on the car. Look for spark plugs, oil changes, timing belt.

This is a non-US accord, so what year are you buying?

244,000 km (150k miles) is not high mileage if the car was well maintained. My 95 accord had 250k miles on it when I sold it.

 

Also, there should be a fuse for the hazard lights. Take a look at the owner's manual. If the hazard switch is stuck, your turn signals will not work.

 

It's from Japan, I'm in New Zealand and we're RHD

I don't mind about the signals, they wont work anyway if the hazards are stuck on, I will just use hand signals and drive extra slow.

There has been a visual inspection done and also a driving inspection, this is from a company that usually deal with repo'd cars so they're not original owners, hence why it's going for quite cheap. I'm going to check under the oil cap at the condition of the rockers etc... that's a pretty good way to check high mileage engines. Will also take it out for a test drive to see if I think everything is fine.

This is the report : http://www.turners.co.nz/Vehicle%20C...&GoodNo=970788

I don't care about the A/C as I never use it and will end up pulling it out anyway.

 

What happens/try prying out the hazzard switch and unplug it?

EDIT:...I now see Jim was already suggeting the switch being stuck. Sorry.
