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

Checking for continuity is always a tricky business, especially with other
things connected to the circuit. The "continuity" you see may be through
those devices and ground; or may be too high resistance to operate the load.
(For example, many continuity testers will show 10 ohms or so as a
connection; but 10 ohms is much too high to power turn signals.)
If there is no voltage on the green wire with the ignition on, then the
problem is somewhere between where you are checking and the battery. Since
presumably the gauges powered by the voltage stabilizer do work, the problem
must be between that point and the stabilizer. Could be a broken wire, but
my money is on the tab on the VS being broken, corroded, or simply not
connected properly. (It is sometimes easy to slide the blade between the
terminal and the plastic covering, which can sometimes make a connection
that will show continuity but not pass enough power to actually run
anything.)
