Ok sorry for this janky drawing but I think this is a correct representation of how to wire everything. Maybe?
What should happen is with hazards on, both L and R lights blink together and the turn signal switch has no effect. When hazards are off, the appropriate turn signal operates if you select R or L turn otherwise nothing flashes.
Thanks! I think that is what I was originally trying. By adding the hazard "3" connection to both sides of the blinkers it ends up connecting them so that whether I use blinkers or hazards it's all the same. I'm going to do some more debugging with a multimeter and see if I can understand the switch more. I'll probably just end up getting diodes and wiring it like this diagram with diodes. Just bothering me that I might be missing something.
Gotcha. I think diodes are the easiest solution here. Idk what they were thinking with these instructions.
If the hazard switch was a dual pole, then you could connect the right side to one pole and the left side to the other pole and then it would only connect Left and Right when hazards are on.
With diodes:
With dual pole hazard switch:
Added the diodes today and it's all working great! Thanks for helping me understand this!
That's awesome, congrats!
