Well you wouldn't unless your switch was out of the column and then you wouldn't have a ground to check to.

Well I did check the purple wire on both sides and I am getting 0 ohms on both sides. Of the connector yes. But checking the individual right/left wires, they are getting continuity correctly. So shouldn't the purple wire show continuity (0 ohms) since the electrons should be flowing to the respective wires? Yes unless the hazard switch is disconnecting the purple wire and the signal wires.You wouldn't have turn signals if all four lights were blinking at the same time. Confused.
