[Spridgets] Switch needed

[Rick Fisk]

John,

On the back of the hazard switch there are six terminals - a group of four and
two more kind sorta separated from the other four.  There should be two green
wires on the two separate terminals.  The two green wires control the voltage
to the turn signals.  When the hazard flashers are off the two green wires are
connected by the switch.  When the hazard flashers are turned on the two green
wires are disconnected and the other four wires are connected to make all four
turn signal lamps flash.  Either/or situation....switch off voltage is
available to the turn signal switch....switch on no voltage to turn signals
but voltage is passed to the hazard flasher unit.

No el cheapo replacement available that I know of.  You can bypass the hazard
flasher switch and simply connect the two green wires together to get
functioning turn signals.  But don't use the turn signals and hazard flashers
at the same time.  Or you can do what I did and take the switch apart and
repair it.  I coulda fixed for you at Grattan if you had told me it wasn't
working.  :-)
