richy Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 My flasher relay buzzes when I reconnect the battery after a period of lay-up. Now, I understand this may be due to low voltage, failing relay, or something else, and a new flasher may fix the buzzing. But does this buzzing as I reconnect the battery mean that the relay is permanently energised whenever the car is switched off and immobilised? Is this another source of battery drain in addition to the immobiliser? The car is a Sigma 125.Richy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian B Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 It's not permenantly energised.Most usual cause of relay buzzing is dirty contacts on the hazard waring switch.Operate the hazard switch rapidly half a dozen times and see if that stops the buzzing.

richy Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Of course, why did I forget that trick? Thanks Ian, that's cured it!Richy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
