Hazard Light Switch - reattach to Head Unit

New to the forums, I've been able to find everything I needed to do the simple stuff - change plugs, install DICE iPod converter, fix the broken heat switch & oil - I am having the hardest time finding where the HAZARD LIGHT SWITCH plugs into the freaking head unit.

As far as I can tell this '04 had an aftermarket headunit installed, and previous dude slapped the old one in prior to getting rid of it (the radio didn't work due to the antenna being loose - but neither did the heat . . .)

In any event I've looked all through the head unit, and I can't figure out where the 4 pin cable coming from the hazard light goes - I've attached a couple low rez pictures where you can see the extension cable.

Any help? I feel that this is wicked simple & I'm looking past it

Thanks

Look familiar? I'm guessing I'm going to have to tear the dash apart again - I'll post the results

Figured it out

Once removing the protective cover I found the cutout - at least on the 2004 oem head unit the input for it is on the front side of the board
