Hi there, this sounds like either the bulb or the switch. However your "new bulb @switch" seems to imply that you have already checked them. Can you try to get a multi tester onto the bulb mount to check if there's any current going to the bulb because if it's not the bulb or switch then it has to be the circuit somewhere. I'm sorry but I don't think I have any more suggestions apart from 'put up with no light'. Sorry I can't help any more.
Could be various things. Can be the indicator stalk - the actual lever that you push down / pull up inside the car. Take cowling off check wire connector.
(Is it both ways it does this?)
OR, simply the bulb and/or the bulb holder? They get corroded. Whip the bulb out and see the bottom metal part of it. Is it manky / corroded. Is the seat where the bulb sits wet and have white residue?
It does sound like the switch is simply jumping out from the lever.
Ya know if you indicate, it clicks itself off as you straighten up your wheels? Try looking see if the switch between steering wheel and stalk is broken or conflicting / inhibited by foreign bodies? I'm more the under bonnet amateur stuff really, sorry.
It is as simple as your hazzard switch needs to be replaced yes your hazzard switch as now turn signals are built threw the hazzard switch my PT Cruiser had same problem as my s10 replaced hazzard switch fixed the problem
The flashing light means that the machine thinks the door is not closed (The door lock switch is not activating). 99% of the time this is simply a sticky switch and the solution is to give the door a good firm slam shut (Don't get silly here, but it will take a pretty good "teenager slamming the bedroom door in a temper tantrum" type slam).
In the event that this doesn't work, then you're looking at a faulty door interlock switch. They're not that hard to obtain or fit if you're fairly confident. Drop me a comment back here and let me know how you get on. Happy to help further if the above hasn't allowed you to solve the problem.
Have you dropped the camera before?
If so, the bulb of the flash mechanism in your digital camera may have been knocked loose or broken.
Try cycling through the flash modes, forced on/off, automatic, red-eye, etc. Replace/charge the batteries; flash sometimes doesn't tend to work when it doesn't have enough energy to charge.
Try going to a dark area and seeing if the flash is at least emitting some type of light, if not, bulb itself could be the problem. After trying all of these steps, and you can't see that the flash is emitting ANY type of light what so ever, you can safely assume that the bulb inside the flash is defective or broken.
If that's the case, the only way you can fix that is by calling up Kodak and their support center and seeing if they can repair it for you.
Normally if the bulb is burned out the bulb will have broken bits inside the bulb itself, AND WILL NOT LIGHT UP, and it will rattle, If the bulb doesn,t light up, as seen through the cooling vents, then replace the bulb.
You can take it apart and see if you can fix it yourself if you want to tackle the job. Look for broken pieces. Or, you can take it to a camera dealer and see if they can fix it. The bulb may be bad after you dropped it. Check the filament inside the bulb to see if it one piece.
the swith that the lamp cover engages is not functioning. either the tab on the lamp door is broken off, the actuator on the switch is off, or the switch itself is broken. the lamp won't light if it thinks the door is open.
by dropping you can damage the charging circuit of the flash unit. flash tube is the later part. it seems that the charging circuit of the camera is not working thus it hangs the camera when flash is switched on.
