Hazards Button Re-wire..

[KzA]

Im in the process of a fiberglass creation that make it necessary to move my hazards button.....I want to wire up a new button in a different location, but a simple on-off push button..The problem is there is like 6 wires going to the hazards button stock....Can anyone help me figure out how to go about this?

Here is a diagram from the service manual..I can't figure out anything from it, can you?

yea..looking at it now I can tell i really should be able to know what to do look at that diagram..but I'm not too good at reading it..help?!?!?

use the same switch just move it.. thats what id do..

why not move the actual switch to one of the black button cover things to the left of the steering wheel (has a fog light button for some cars).

Well, I really cant do that..the stock button has a contour to it that nolonger follows my piece, plus I no longer have the plastic piece that the original switch sat in...Also, the button is really too big and I can get away with a much smaller, even cooler looking one.

You could use a relay linked to a switch.
(Or a few relays actualy)

You can use a 4PST relay for the A,C,I,K Connections
(Or three SPST relays)
And a SPDT relay for the F,D,B connections

Then activate both relays via a single switch.

yeah... what he said... lol

truely all you need is a double pole double throw switch.... lemme diagram it in paint for you

Here is the diagram using a SPDT relay, and 4PST relay.

Yes you could use a DPDT relay, as RyanJayG suggested, but you have to add Diodes to the A, C and I wires or you will end up crosswiring lights together to other switches.
(For example, activating the left turn signal, would also activate your right turn signal)

whoa..thanks guys!

yeah, whoops... dont for get diodes if you do it my way... I forgeot that even when the switch is off the A,C, & I would be tied together... lol... thats not good if you still want to use blinkers.. lol... either way... its not hard...
