Ford KA

Into our workshop was this KA which had the problem of the hazards going off randomly whilst driving and wouldn’t stop until ignition is switched off.

We first disconnected the hazard switch but fault remained.

 We then removed glovebox to reveal the GEM unit. To gain access to the plugs you have to remove the security cover. 

Once access was gained and the plugs removed the trouble was obvious

The car had previous bodywork done on the front and more signs of water were found in the scuttle

The customer was lucky in that the water hadn’t got inside the GEM unit so with a good clean all was well.
