Is there a way to wire turn signals on a 3 pos switch and then a 2 position switch for hazards? If I'm thinking right then using any of the switches would turn on the hazards since the wires connecting the lights for the hazards will connect the turn signals.

That might work. However, it is much easier to buy a universal turn signal for $25 and then you have turn signals, hazards and brake lights integrated together.

I have one of those, but I don't like the looks of it (cheap chrome) and I have LED Rear lights and LED front turn signals. I have bought 2 different LED Flashers to try and get them to flash correctly, but when using a regular flasher all I can get is a solid light when I try to use the turn signals, and a flashing light when using the Hazards. I thought this was mainly because the LED's weren't drawing enough power. Now I have tried 2 different "LED" flashers, with the same result. So now I am moving the yellow front LED turn signals to the back and buying regular incandescent yellow turn signals for the front, and hooking it up with switches. Seems like I am going to have to go with a toggle switch for each side, and when I want hazards just turn both switches on. And they should blink at the same time if I run them both off a single flasher unit. At least I hope.

If you followed all that, bravo. It's the best I can explain it. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I can follow because I had the same problem when I installed my led blinkers. I need to look and see what flasher I got to work. I know I had to disconnect the indicator light inside the turn signal to get them to work

By indicator light you mean the Blue wire that is supposed to hook to the 3rd pole on the flasher?

That light has never worked on mine anyways. Maybe that's my problem.

And the 2 flashers I have tried have been an off brand Ebay one, and a Grote 3 pole LED Flasher.
