Hazard lights only working on one side?

So, MOT coming up and car was as above.

(indicators working as they should)

I managed to get the relay out
Took relay apart
Checked for dry joints - none
connected the relay back without the the casing on, so i could see the little copper tick-tock switches
noticed the indicator one only has 1 contact, the hazards have 2 contacts. cleaned tiny contact breakers with a tiny strip of fine grade wet'n'dry paper
jiggled the tiny contact breakers around to check they were bedding and making contact

and would you believe it - it worked!!

for now? we'll see

new relay is 90 quid, so had little to lose.

Not for the faint hearted if you like to keep fragile plastic all in tact!
 
Good work!!

I priced one a year ago from TPS was £60!

Horrible place audi put it and I can barely hear the indicators

Would like to extend the wiring loom and place it above clutch pedal maybe but imagine it's easier said than done!

Breakers on here sell them for around £15 (that's where my replacement came from)
