      Now that I have my flashers running, I need to figure out the hazard lights. I have not tested it but I suspect the switch or wires running to switch because I know flasher is good and looking at the wiring Scematics, there is not much left.

      Hey there Jonathan,

      The Emergency Flasher circuit is a separate circuit in that the power is run thru a separate Flasher unit, so if you replaced your turn signals unit only, there is another flasher, under the seat near the battery IIRC!? Happy hunting!

        I verified that the hazard flasher was good by swapping it with the one I used for the signals. Both worked for flasher so it must be in the hazard circuit.

        Right now, this is the least of the issues I have. I discovered a low compression issue which I posted details in another topic.
