Could someone who knows the Hazard Light circuit of an early TR6 help me out a
little here?

As I understand it, the early TR-6 hazard switch is something like a double
pole double throw switch. Which I take to mean that when you flip the switch .
. . you disconnect one circuit while simultaneously connecting the other.

Needless to say my hazard switch doesnt work.  Its probably original.
And also a replacement is supremely expensive (at least from moss)

I know I could go to Radio Shark and get a DPDT switch that would work
electrically . . . but I've got this space on the dash for a windshield washer
switch that I don't use. (It's got another non functioning switch in it at the
moment)

So then Im looking at this other Lucas switch I have in my hand that will fit
the hole.  It has three positions and four terminals.

Call them  A B C & D

In the low position  A and B are connected (and nothing else is connected.)

In the High position C and D are connected (and nothing else is connected)

This is all fine and dandy except for that the problem comes in when the switch
is in the middle position and terminals B&C are connected.

Thus effectively connecting two circuits that would never touch when using the
original switch.

Can anyone take a look at the wiring diagram and tell me if this is going to
fry anything?


Thanks for your help.
