V70 hazards

tyto · Feb 17th, 2020, 11:27

My 05 V70 has decided the hazards will not work when unlocking the car and only work as hazards when the ignition is switched on, has anyone else had this problem?

I haven't.
Could a reset have an effect?

Do you mean that you don't get hazard flashing lights when you lock / unlock the car to show the alarm has set / unset?
If so, it indicates that a door or other opening isn't closed, or that there is a fault in the system. Often it's the bonnet catch switch that starts to play up. Opening the bonnet and closing it by letting it drop from a reasonable height, say around 400mm or slightly more, may trip the bonnet switch back to life.

was the central locking lights not controlled by the alarm siren module? Swear i read somethere removing module/pulling its fuse means central locking still works, but the lights will no longer flash?

Correct. Central locking will still work fine, but if there is a fault on one of the circuits that means the "closed" indicator is not set, the alarm won't set so no "flashing lights"
