Hazard lights finally fixed!
@67Dart273 Thanks so much for the explanation!
I've edited this a couple times because my neighbour explained things differently, he said in the off position the switch connects 2 terminals and in the on position it connects all four terminals on the switch. He won't use the wiring diagram I have and prefers to physically trace wires.
So hazards are working and now I'm not sure the brakelight issue is solved.
