Dead flasher if your lucky. It on the back of the fuse panel, "behind" the turn signal flasher. You can swap them.

yep. I just swapped out the hazard for the blinker because the blinkers in the 88 weren't working.Pete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements

put new flasher in and still no hazzards could it be the hazzard switch it selfComment

Entirely possible. Do you have a known good multifunction switch you can try?2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

silly question, but is it possible that
A) your brake lights are staying on all the time
B) you are only testing with the brakes applied?

This is a thought, though my assumption (!) has been that my one car where the hazards quit flashing with the brakes applied was suffering from a wiring problem.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

hazards should override the brakes, just like a turn signal overrides the brakes.91 Mercury CP, Lopo 302, AOD, 3.08LSD. 3g upgrade, Moog wagon coils up front, cc819s in the back. KYB GR-2 police shocks. Energy suspension control arm bushings. Smog deleted.Originally posted by gadget73

Brakes override hazzards.

No. They don't. At least not on my 91. The wiring in the steering column actually disconnects the rear bulbs from the brake light switch when the turn signal or hazard switch is engaged, that way, when you apply the brakes while a turn signal is on, the turn signal continues to flash when the brake lights are applied. The only thing that happens when you apply the brakes in my car when the hazards are on is that the third brake light comes on.Originally posted by GM_Guy View Post91 Mercury CP, Lopo 302, AOD, 3.08LSD. 3g upgrade, Moog wagon coils up front, cc819s in the back.

Gotta be a ford thing then. How will somebody behind you know if you are on the brakes to slow down/stop (for cars before the HMSL came to be)--(or did they change the scheme when they went to a HMSL)? I'll have to try it out tommorow.
As for signals, whichever direction you select is isolated from the brake switch and is only acted upon by the flasher.

The hazards and turn signals override the brake lights. Hazards on both sides, turn signals on the side you turn on. Turn on the left signal, it will blink, the right light will stay on when you hit the brake. It works that way in all cars and trucks.89 CV LX 225/60 x 16 tires, CC819 rear springs, Front & rear sway bar, trans & PS cooler from 90 cop car. KYB shocks, F-150 on rear. Dual Exhaust w/ H pipe.

might have been a mid-decade change with the 3rd brake light - the brakes stop the hazards from flashing in my 85.Pete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements

Crazy....I apologize for being so sure that what was true on my car applied to all cars.

No worries, I had the same feelings with my point. Tried it out last night. Wadda ya know.
Considering the GM is the only thing I own that has a HMSL, everything else is the typical combined stop/turn pair of lights, where brakes do override hazzards (brake feed bypasses the hazzard portion of the turn signal/hazzard switch). Otherwise, its a major safety oversight if people behind you don't know if you are hitting the brakes (driving with the hazzards on, wether accidently or for a reason).
