I just tried looking at the CSC service manual electrical schematic, but its in Chinese. But wait, I read Chinese, sort of. But the CSC copy is too small and fuzzy for me to make out more than a few characters. I can't make out any of the characters for the wiring colors.

I suspect that the high beam switch is a double pole, and the hazard switch is a single pole, so the idea won't work without more modification than I can deal with.

Spud, how does this sound, based on your attempt to fix the slider switch?

After I finished my repair, I thought of the same idea. However, since it was an afterthought, I didn't check the wiring inside the switch. I just now checked the wiring diagram, but I don't read Chinese, either.

I do know the wiring was changed to eliminate the 'off' position for the headlight switch, but I don't know how that change affected the wiring diagram. The headlight switch employs three wires, and I suspect the 'hazard' switch also employs three wires, but I didn't check. However, I also suspect you are correct regarding the single pole configuration of the hazard switch.
