Wiring my 67-72 column hazard lights in my '65 Chevy C10

It seems my truck(1965
Chevrolet lwb stepside) has a later model steering column, which has the
hazard lights switch on the column. The '60-'66 trucks it seems had a separate
switch under the dash for the hazard lights.
"Even on the
passenger cars, GM never had a hazzard switch on the column until the '67
model year. - Royer (Chevytalker #5852)"
The wire for
the hazard switch coming out of the column is a solid brown wire. I wired
it like so, brown wire to a 552 flasher unit(find it in electrical section
near bulbs and connectors at parts store) and then an inline 20 amp fuse
to a 12 volt ignition off power source. I used a multimeter to find the
12 volt ignition off source.
When I pushed in the switch, I had working hazard lights. :)
Here is another
tip, that I did not read until after I had wired mine up but makes sense
to me:
"GO IN TO YOUR
LOCAL PARTS STORE AND PICK UP A HEAD LIGHT PLUG AND A FLASHER . THE FLASHER
WILL PLUG RIGHT INTO IT - Bud (Chevytalker #14717) poster on chevytalk.com
