Why aren't my hazards working?

I was having problems with my left turn signal and my hazards weren't working either, so I replaced my turn signal switch. My left turn signal is now working, but my hazards still do not. I verified that my flasher relay works. Anybody have any suggestions on what to check to address the problem?

Are you running LED lights?

No. None on the outside of the vehicle, anyway.

I would test at C305, the curved connector on the steering column to see if you have power going in on the W/R and then power out on the LG/O and O/LB wires.

I have the steering wheel off, still. Can/should I just test those connections on the switch itself?

Yes, you certainly can. That would be easy.

If you look at the diagram, you will note there are two flashers, one for turn signals and one for hazard. Turn signal one is fed through the ignition switch, hazard direct from the battery. Fuse 5 feeds the turn flasher and fuse 1 feeds the hazard flasher.

The two flashers are one in front and one behind the fuse panel. Tip, if your brake lights work, then fuse 1 is good.
