Source for a Hazard Flasher?

[FARMAN33]

1978 with an aftermarket harness. Switch in dash goes to nothing (empty 6 wire receptacle). Having trouble finding a flasher unit for the later 40s. The male connection into the switch would be a help as well.

Bunch of dead ends.

Is it different to a regular turn signal flasher?

I prefer to get them from Western Star Truck dealership.

Originally the flasher switch feeds power to the blinkers. It was complicated. If you have a different harness that you didn't put in, you've got a lot of work ahead to reverse-engineer what was done, create a schematic for yourself, understand what is needed for a flasher circuit and then finally to wire it up.

You can get an idea for the complexity surrounding the hazard switch from the original schematic:

this is a turn switch and hazard switch in one>>> http://www.macsautoparts.com/ford_m...rn-signal-switch-kit-12-volt-top-quality.html

Yes, I have signals and they go through the harness flasher and work properly. If I can get an aftermarket signal flasher to do the job of the second flasher necessary for my year 40 then great. I just don't know for certain that that will work. I will look into the one from mac's. Yes. A LOT of reverse engineering is ahead I fear!
