Van tilt -- hazards

[dennislbrooks]

I may have seen this on here before but after a successful install of my van tilt in my 67, everything works but the hazard lights. When I push it in --nothing happens. I used the adapter plug from the flat to the half moon. What do I need to do or what should I check?

Dennis - I have not heard of this before. The obvious would be the flasher unit. The only other thing I can think of is a bad turnsignal. If the blinkers work left and right you can rule out the adapter.

Keep us posted - Bob

Thanks Bob, turn signals work OK---definitely may be the hazard flasher as I cannot ever remember trying it before the column change--- they must not check it at the yearly inspections.

Replaced the hazard flasher, checked the fuse and made sure power to both sides of fuse with ignition key off. Hazard flashers still do not work. I have power to the hazaed flasher unit all the time so the connection may not be made somewhere else when I push the flasher switch in. Both turn signals work ok with the key on. Am having trouble making out the wiring diagram on them. I do not think they worked before I switched to the tilt from the 67 oem.

I would set the old column in the truck on the floor, and plug it in. Try the 4 ways from the old column and if they work, you know you have a bum switch. Knowing the way they work... it's pretty much going to be a bum switch anyways.
