you bypassed the broken connector/wire on / behind the fuse block... good idea...

but if you can handle putting on a spade connector, then you could pull the fuse block off and look behind/on the side of it and find the broken wire/connector...

Im guessing it is broken but probably a connector that kinda slipped out or has some corrosion in it??

but I like your write up... a picture would be awesome...

The reason I did the repair the way I did was to not further disturb 25 year old wiring.
It is also pretty tuff to get a fuse box out to where you can see what you are working on.
There isn't much to take pics of . My main purpose is to show an alternative repair method. Thanks

This is interesting if the issue is a wire at the fuseblock.

What if the issue is the push-button switch itself? I know it and the turn signal are clustered into a harness within the column. But... Is it possible to cut the wire(s) under the column, bypass the push-button hazard switch entirely, and rewire into a rocker switch located anyplace I'd want?

Its a common problem with the hazard switch: it gets warn and doesn't stay engaged when pushed in. I've been inside the column before, replaced key lock assy, and while not difficult, I don't look forward to going inside again.

If possible, I'd much rather rewire the hazard switch to a new location.
