T-Series '68 Hazard Switch Question

Howdy all:

My hazard switch seems to be on the blink (or not, so to speak). It won't satisfyingly "click" into the off position, and I've also noticed that now my turn signals don't work. I assume that the switch functions (at least in terms of where it fits into the wiring) like the item in my TR-250. That is, for the turn signals to work, the switch must be definitively in the "off" position. Assuming this is the case, before I have time to pull the sucker out and fix it, can I simply do a temporary jump between the turn signal line? I assume this to be the wires that lead into the upper blades of the switch, since that's the off position.

My apologies for the question -- I don't yet have a good wiring diagram.

Thanks!

B.

Bill - Go to https://www.advanceautowire.com/ scroll down to Stock Schematics and click on that, then find the diagema for your model and print the diagram (or better yet, save the file to a flash drive, take it to Kinko's and have them print it full size and laminate it for you).

Cheers,
 
Well, I took the little sucker apart this morning (just wasn't feeling ready to head to the office quite yet). Turns out that some of the many internal parts that make up the hazard switch had gotten out of alignment. I took it apart, cleaned it all up, but in some dialectic grease, assembled it in the "off" position, and was able to confirm that the turn signals were working. I didn't play around with it to see if the hazards were working, since I could see some of the parts start to get misaligned again. I think I'll leave well enough alone for now.
