Hector   Thanks for the advise, I may have to try that.  I fixed the
flasher bulb holders this evening.  Now the turnsignals work all around .
Then I tried the hazard signal and all four lights worked great.  Did this
a couple of three times turn signals then hazzard lights.  Turned
everything off and then came back about 30 minutes later and tried the
hazzard lightsagain and nothing happened.  Trun signals worked great.  I
took hazzard switch apart and cleaned all contacts . This did not help
either.  At least I fixed the bulb holders turnsignals and backup lights..4
holders at $12.25 @ . 
Good savings , will be able to use that money somewhere else.  Does anyone
have a suggestion what may be causing the problem with the hazzard lights. 
Dan Masters where are you?  Can you solve this one or give me a hint?
