Thanks Everyone,
I determined that even though there was voltage were the green wires
went into the stabilizer, there was no voltage at the connector to the
hazard switch.
I tried tracing the wires from both ends, but they both went into the
harness and I could not determine where the problem might be.
I ended up just running another wire between the stabilizer and the
hazard switch connector and everything is working fine.
Thanks,
Roger Elliott
