Hazard switch flashes while it is depressed.

Just found that one this morning and it is what i’ve been flipping through.

flashers are still going. Switch doesn’t seem to affect anything.

The Relay has 8 pins on it:

2:power to relay (flash left)

_3:power for hazards from relay_

4: Power to flasher (left) PLUS power to hazard switch flashing light AND to crash control module.

5: power to flasher (left)

6: power to relay (hot at all times)

7: power to relay (flash right)

8: Ground

9: to crash control module

When tested with a multimeter  
6. (power to relay (hot at all times)) has power.  
8: (Ground) has ground

When car is on and stalk is moved

2: (power to relay (flash left)) Gets power  
and  
7: (power to relay (flash right)) Gets power

When crash module is removed, no change to above. Flashers continue to flash.

When 6: (power to relay (hot at all times)) is taped over, All of the above works the same but nothing flashes. No hazards, no blinkers despite power to 2 and 7.

I just realized my relay has no pin #3…
