I just figured out how to get rid of the stock hazard switch with a jumper plug and one toggle switch for the hazards.

Edit
Well maybe not. Hazards would only be rears. Keep looking.

Can be done with a 3PST, 3 pole single throw switch. However, unless you can't get switches that work you don't need to do it.

It would take a jumper plug to eliminate the hazard switch, 3PST toggle switch and a wire adapter to go between the turn switch and the dash harness. you could put the toggle in place of the stock hazard switch I guess.

So, the 3 pole switch would essentially turn on left and right turn signals on at the same time?

I haven't gotten back to trouble shoot the car...company staying with us for the Memorial Day holiday...

Turn switch would work normally. 3 pole is just for hazard lights all around. If I had a working 69-70 turn switch I could try it out. Well, and the the 3 pole but I can simulate that.

Yep, that's what I meant (turn all the turn signals on at the same time) instead of the hazard switch and hazard flasher relay.

The cars have two flasher cans One for turn and one for hazard. You would still use the flasher can and bypass the switch.

Here's what I came up with. In the past I looked at this and just didn't see it. I don't have the parts to try it.

Finally got back to looking at this issue. I pulled the bezel off of the turn signal switch and found a glob of grease and dirt stuck to the wiper contact. Cleaned that up and now all lights flash when they should and not when they shouldn't.
