Ok, I can't see the forest for the trees I guess.

I have to replace some wiring behind the fuse box in the cab? The only way I can see to do it is to remove the dash. I had a couple of wires melt together. They went to my hazards, this caused all kinds of havoc and LOTS OF SMOKE! I did find the wires and cut them so they would not be a problem, but now my brakes lights don't work at all. The hazards obviously finish that particular loop. I can't get in there to solder and heat shrink new wires so I can plug my hazards relay back in. I have taken off screws and more screws. I think this truck is possessed, I feel like I am removing the sames screws over and over....

The hazard relay has nothing to do directly with the brake lights, the turn signal switch does, I bet it smoked when whatever shorted ,well shorted. Not a fun scenario, but if your rear turn sigs work then maybe the switch is ok.

Well I have the relay plugged in with alligator clamps right now. It is the relay directly behind the one that is easy to get to, the blinkers. Now everything is working. I don't like dont like doing stuff half hiney on my truck. I dont like the alligator clips as jumpers for the relay. Wiring info would be GREAT! I must have more going on than I am thinking. I would rather tear down an engine than deal with wiring gremlins. I HATE WIRING GREMLINS!
