1976 Hazards wont shut-off, rear light issues
Hello Fighter Pilots:
Sent my Corvette out to have a new carpet put in. I am too big to be playing in the ****-pit.
When my bird returned the radio did not work. The installer told me he pulled the fuse (Ctsy Clk) as the rear compartment light was getting hot enough to melt the lens. I replace the fuse this afternoon and the hazards turned on and would not stop.
After searching around this and other forums I am going to start with a new brake light switch and a new turn-signal switch.
Can anyone make another suggestion??
Thanks for your help and keep flying!!

More info please capt,
When you try to work the hazard switch what happens, does it work or feel limp/broken?
While it might not be related about 20 years ago I had a sears do an alignment, the tech was a big bulky fellow who busted the turn signal switch level off then to try to cover it just rammed in back in the column, where it dropped out,
When I go to leave, same thing my hazards went crazy, I putzed around with it enough to get it to stop flashing so I could get it home, sears paid for a new switch...
The way the rear lights work on a c3 where brake lamps are turn lamps the turn signal switch is the brain that controls brake lights or a turn lamp or hazards.

If I put the fuse in, the hazards wont stop switch on or off.
They must have nudged a wire in the carpet install.
I will update this once I am done.
Glad to see a fellow Orlandian on the forum.

While it could be something related to carpet install I am betting it's someway the turn switch on the streering column,
So you live here too, I am in college park,
You ever hit old town or the fernpark cruise?
