Corsa B Hazard Switch Trick?

Post by twoandahalfmen »

I got told putting it in upside down will give you power to your ignition and stuff? Any truth in this. I almost want to try it for lols, but obviously don't want to jack my electrics if it's me being trolled.

yeah it works.
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!

it will put the ignition on yes but then you still have to find a way of breaking the steering lock so you can bump start it, and before tht you've actually got to get in the car.

This topic should be watched carefully, my mate who done my wheels drives a fiat and is an active user on the fiat forums. He was showing me today some guy who kept posting topics asking about Locks, door locks, imboliser etc etc. hes done it that many times people clearly think hes just finding out how to jack a car. Something to look out for on the Corsa Forums, i dont want someone getting advice on here find out they off with my car and only part left is my hazard switch left in the driveway !!!

Theres another topic now someone directley asking about alarms, wire's and how to take out or dissable the imobiliser on another topic, after what my mate said on the fiat fourm, these types of questions should be approced with careful answers, We dont want to educate people on how to steal our corsa's !!

These questions could be genuine, but better to be safe.

it does work yes but there are other things you got to contend with like matty said, not just the steering lock :lol:
