Thread-topic: Hazard circuit diagnosis
I'm looking at the wiring diagram, and trying to trace the circuit.
There's no ground at the switch, though I agree it could be a ground
problem somewhere.
 
Here's the circuit as I read it. Power comes from a brown wire off the
starter solenoid. This wire has an inline fuse (behind the console), and
is then fed to the hazard flasher. A green/brown wire goes from the
hazard flasher to pin 3 of the switch. From the switch, pin 1 is a
green/white wire to the right flasher bulbs (including dash repeaters),
and pin 2 is a greeen/red wire to the left flasher bulbs. Pin 7 is a
green wire to the turn signal flasher unit, and from there a light
green/brown wire feeds the turn signal switch on the stalk. Pin 8 is a
green wire that feeds the reverse light switch (how weird is this?)
 
I'm still not sure what inside the hazard switch is the "pass-thru" for
the turn signals. Something in there is not connnecting, or is being
re-directed due to a poor ground.

Chris, 
On your switch varify you have a good ground...I had a similar problem
on my 
69 Midget once.
