My way of thinking may be simple and not right BUT why not remove the hazard switch/button and make sure the wiring doesn't need to be a "continues loop" If not..chase the wires down to the connector and remove/eliminate them. So you have no wiring earthing out in the column and no dodgy connections or colour change's.
If the wiring is to be a LOOP..just join-em,tape-em,hide-em.
Hope this makes sense. Calbert
