Here's my Hazard Switch R&R page, but unfortunately I misplaced my wiring diagram before I had a chance to scan it for the website:

Here's a thread on the PI Board with someone else's Hazard Switch wiring diagram (you must be logged in to see images):

Here is the link to the wiring diagrams on Pantera Place; scroll down the page to "W":
