CJ hazard lights
Oops, I forgot to ask one other thing in my message about wiring
circuits...
My project currently has no hazard lights (flashers.) To get it
street legal, I need to hook some up. I know how to run basic wiring
that will toggle on/off with a switch, but I don't know how to set
something up to flash automatically... or how to integrate this with
the regular headlight switch which just turns the lights 100% on or
100% off.
Anyone know how to do this? And while I'm at it... where was the
factory-stock hazard light switch on at a CJ7? (Maybe some parts of
that circuit are still lurking around the jeep somewhere, saving me
the effort if I can find them...)

Re: CJ hazard lights
My '68 CJ-5 came stock with flashers so you must have them, if your
harness is in place. What year is your Jeep? Later models have been a
push button on the column. If you must wire it you would switch a
flasher to the driving light's switch connection.

What year CJ? At least for the `76-83 revision the 4-way flasher button
is on the steering column, right side just below the key switch. It should
be a round button that either snaps or screws in. Take a look at your
fuse block: there should be two small thermal-flasher canisters, or one
and slots for the second one.
The 4-way switch for the above CJs is part of the signal light switch
assembly and has no part in the head lamp circuit. You can't tag into the
signal light system with just a flasher stuck into a head lamp socket and a
SPST switch without running into problems with the brake light function --
remember, the brake lights and the rear signals are the same filament
switched differently for different functions. If you try that route
you'll end up with parking lights that come one when you step on the brake
or signal lights that flash on all 4 corners. You won't be happy and
neither will the DMV inspector.
