78 cj5 hazard switch help

Question

we have a 78 cj5 and for it to pass inspection we need a hazard switch (one on column is broke) is there anyway i can just wire it to a toggle switch? how would you do that? we took a hot wire and touched it to the hazard plug but nothing happened. if i cant rewire it what is the easiest was to get access to the switch thanks

Answer 1

There is no easy way. If you can pull the old switch out to access the wires behind it, you can wire those wires to a toggle (assuming it is the switch that is bad and not a relay or flasher). If that does not work you can go farmer status and buy a clamp on tractor style turn signal setup at Napa or any farm friendly auto parts store (JC Whitney sells them too).

Good luck
