Sorry if this isn't the right community. I'm adding blinkers to a side-by-side and I have the blinkers working. However I can't understand how to connect the hazard switch to the blinkers without losing the blinker functionality. When I connect them it makes both blinkers go off when I try to use the blinkers. Is someone able to point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Gotcha. I think diodes are the easiest solution here. Idk what they were thinking with these instructions.

If the hazard switch was a dual pole, then you could connect the right side to one pole and the left side to the other pole and then it would only connect Left and Right when hazards are on.

Added the diodes today and it's all working great! Thanks for helping me understand this!
