1992 Z28 Camaro Relay and hazard lights issue

Hey guys, so I bought my 1992 Z28 from someone who probably should've read a book called, "If you don't know how to fix that... Don't even attempt it!"
The main issues with this car were electrical... I know that category can be a nightmare, but so far, I've managed to repair everything this dummy has broke. Fuses and relays were all mixed up and blown. This guy said his fog light switch caught on fire and melted, so he replaced his 4 prong OEM fog light switch with a 3 prong Walmart special toggle switch. The headlight switch was punched in and there was no **** on it, basically the car needed help. I so far repaired all that... Now comes the hard part for me. I found the relays, but I don't know what factory relays belong where??? See, dummy pulled out every single relay, he bought a bunch of new ones, but he didn't even get the right ones! Listen, can someone please show me where all these relays go, and what the part number of each relay are?
My hazard lights don't even flash. I bought a Haynes manual, and believe it or not... it doesn't go over the relays. It just says replace relays with the same relay. Duh! But how are you suppose to do that, when there are 4 relays of different sizes in the center console?

Re: 1992 Z28 Camaro Relay and hazard lights issue

I'm happy to say I figured it out, and I'm done and over with it. Turns out, the metal 552 turn signal relay was going bad. I found that when I tried putting the relay back in the metal clip that held it, it would spark. Went to the parts store and bought a plastic 552 relay and replaced it. Found the hazard relay location on accident and put a relay in there, it was right above the horn relay.
Also figured out what was causing the short in the front turn signal. The actual right bulb socket was bad. I cut it off and replaced it with a new turn signal socket.
