Re: [DML] Update/Next Question

[Warren Wallingford <warren@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe's right about the grounds being trouble, but before you go off on a 
quest, check the connection at the back of the switch.  Reach around 
behind the A/C panel, under the flap of the console.  Push the plug on 
the back of the hazard switch so that all the contacts make as well as 
they can.  Weird things happen when that plug or the one behind the 
light switch are only partly connected.  Maybe the ground pin is open 
and there is one available when the turn signal is selected. If it turns 
out you need a hazard switch, give me a call.
