During my restoration I replaced my wiring with a new Euro rear harness. Now that I'm putting things back together I noticed that the connector for the hazard switch is different. It is missing one terminal and the wires go to different positions.

I cut the old one out of the old harness, so I can reuse the old connector and wire appropriately, but I was surprised to see that they were different. Anybody run into this before and know why they're different?

I don't know about there being a different switch for Euro cars, but there were at least 3 different switches used on USA cars. The pull up knob type on the early cars that sits to the left of the instrument cluster, then there are 2 different push buttom types for the later cars. Mid-71 to probably early 74, then 74 & 75. One of the later types had a resistor soldered inbetween two of the connectors on the back of the switch.
