Hazard light wiring, need some help

Hey all. I went and did something dumb and broke the hazard light switch off my aftermarket steering column. In my defense, the switch is made of plastic!

I tried taking the steering column apart, no luck
I tried super gluing the switch back together in the steering column, no luck

So I finally need help in wiring an external hazard switch. I have a hot brown wire from my wiring harness that says hazard flasher. I pulled it from the GM column wiring harness. If I route that to a switch input, where does the output go? What am I powering? At first I thought I should ground it....bzzzzzt wrong.

What does the switch do internally? Do I need an external flasher relay attached to the left and right turn signal? Or is it something easier than that?

Keep it simple please, I really don't understand this stuff very well.

Maybe this guy is onto something: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5Hu7RX3Nbk
