i fitted a remote entry to the car , i fitted it in the boot , the doors lock,unlock fine but i want the hazards to flash when i lock the car , i took out hazard switch it has 8 wires goin into it i tried each one in turn but still can only get one side of the indicators to flash, where can i tap into to get both sides to flash as the remote unit has only 1 wire for indicator flash

Sorry it took so long, I was being blocked by a firewall and could not get in to this site! The Euro cars are different and I will have the information as soon as I contact a source in San Diego, stay tuned.

Nope, just got too damn busy. I will resend my request to my source in San Diego and see what happens. The European cars are sometimes a bit of a pain.
