Hazard Switch

In your diagram, the Stoplamp switch passes 'always Hot' power around the hazard flasher.

If you were to disconnect the white wire, it would not stay on despite the brakes being applied.

Find connector pin 17, the white wire and remove it. Apply 12 volts to the socket at the point and the lights will come on just as if you were braking.

I believe you misunderstood my question. I know that the stoplamps are fed always hot power through the Stoplamp Switch. However, when the switch is activated, that power is routed through the Turn/Hazard Switch Assembly, which determines which stoplamps can illuminate. The CHMSL is the exception, which can illuminate independent of the Turn/ Hazard Switch. The diagram shows though that when the hazard switch is on, the stoplamp circuit is broken. But when I apply the brakes with the hazard lights on, the dash turn indicators cease to blink. Instead, they illuminate continuously until I release the brakes and they begin blinking once again. Thus, at the rear it would appear your stoplamps were on and at the front brighter parking lamps. Do you agree the diagram is incorrect? If so, how should the diagram appear to make me understand why "all" the hazard lamps freeze "on" with the brakes applied (i.e. what was Haynes' error?)? Also, wouldn't you agree that there are several more errors to the Turn/ Hazard Switch Assembly? Look at the turn signal power input to the assembly. It doesn't get routed to all the right places.

I agree that the diagram appears in error. Looking at the turn flasher alone, there is no path to the turn signal lamps if the hazard switch is off. That's the purple wire on pin 16.

Following wire #16 "south," it appears the position of the hazard contact is backwards, and that the path for the flasher signal is not completely drawn in. It should route to the NO contacts of the right turn relays as well as the left turn relays.

I agree that the diagram shows no path from the stoplamp switch to the lamps, so there is apparently another path line missing, and I would imagine that this path is to the far right NO hazard contact, and should contain a diode to prevent the flasher from operating the center brake lamp. Pure speculation, of course.

off.

Is the diagram from a third party? Can you check one from the car maker?

Otherwise, it's time to punt!
