I have a few hazard switches if yours turn out to be beyond repair.

You can remove it without removing the tach. Remove the two pin lock ring and it slides back and out.

Thanks so much for the information. I would be interested in one of your spares if you have it available. Maybe I have something you need or PayPal?

Glad to know you can just pull it out without removing tach........

Those pictures of the flasher units are great. Matches my hazard flasher, but my turn signal is a generic one

the previous owner put in. Let me see if I can pictures......

opps, here are the pictures,......... I still notice heat at the fuse box 20A Stop when the hazards are on.
No heat at the hazard flasher unit. Maybe corrosion in the hazard switch?

Flashers do wear out over time, and people just got what ever the parts store had.

It is not til later (current times) that people want OEM parts for their cars.

I save all the OEM's I can find from parts cars to junk yards. It has paid off for me.

Corrosion in the switch will cause resistance = heat. another reason to clean up all the contacts you can find.

Niles is OEM. Still could be no good.

Sometimes you run across a hoard and get some good pieces.

Jackpot baby!! $$

Bend the little metal tabs back there are contacts and nubbins in there. Clean the contacts. Clean out and old crud in there and reassemble with dielectric grease. Clean up the blade connectors too.

Some will agree and some will not. It worked for me.

Be EXTREMELY cautious in bending any of the tabs, go slowly with very little pressure. The body is pot metal and breaks very easily. Ask me how I know. 😉
