    Thanks RysiuM! My problem could be the connections on the Hazard Switch then? Could I jumper it to verify its bad? How hard is it to access the switch connector? Cheers, Mike

    Not difficult to jump it, just be very careful to jump proper wires. There are 8 wires going to that plug:

    Don't use four top contacts (X is marking empty hole, circles are contacts used for switch illumination), only bottom six contacts are used for switch functionality. Just match numbers on the plug with diagram:

    To simulate the switch in Off position jump 10 with 7. To simulate On position jump 8 with 7 and the second jumper connecting 5-6-9.

    The plug is right behind the hazard switch but the harness is very short, so probably you will need to take the center part of the dash off (center vents cover). It is easy but not 5 minutes job (you have to remove panels of the center console from the bottom to the top)

    Fixed! Thanks again RysiuM. The problem was the Hazard Switch wasn't completely plugged in. When I removed the Bezel the switch came with it once plugged in completely all good. Now on to the intermittent HVAC control lights and non working gear indicator lights (automatic). Thanks again, Mike

    RysiuM to the rescue again. The dude knows his stuff. And if he doesn't know the answer off hand, he knows how to figure out what it is:cool:

    Problem solved guys. Thank you for all of your help. It was definitely the ground going to the blinker. On closer inspection. I saw that the wires were kind of pulling out of the terminal because it wasn't properly crushed. So I pushed that bad boy back in there and BAM. Everything is back to normal. Thanks again guys.
