Broken Hazard Switch Repair How-to!
Yes people, someone has finally done the Broken Hazard Switch repair because we were stupid when we pulled the dash bezel How-to!!!
This applies to all 95 and up trucks Tools and Parts required: Parts: GM Hazard switch repair Kit part # 15174447 Tools: Needle Nose Pliers The hazard Switch kit will come with a small tube of dialectric grease. Smear this on the entire thing before installation. First look at your old hazard hole. You should see it broken similar to this.  Reach in with your needle nose pliers and grasp the edge of the old switch housing and pull upwards and remove.  You should now have the entire assembly out..  Now simply insert your new hazard switch in hole and push down firmly.. New Switch:  And wala! You're done... Your final repair should look like this.. (though less blurry unless you're not wearing glasses then it will look just like this!  Takes about 3 minutes. If you can't do this repair, you're a complete moron!   Enjoy!

Re: Broken Hazard Switch Repair How-to!

Re: Broken Hazard Switch Repair How-to!
It's a dealer item only... Usually between 12 and 15 bux... The part number is listed at the beggining of the how-to. You DO NOT need the whole multifunction switch as demonstrated in the pics

Re: Broken Hazard Switch Repair How-to!
95 wasn't included in the recall, you'll need to spend the 12 bux...

Re: Broken Hazard Switch Repair How-to!
You can order this part from GM Parts Direct, it's $9.25 plus shipping.
Here is the link http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/ enter only the part number 15174447 in the search box at the top left and that will bring up the part. No having to hassle with the "morons" at the parts dept at the dealerships. This is a legitimate GM OEM parts distributor. |

Re: Broken Hazard Switch Repair How-to!
Is the switch black from gm parts direct....? cause the factory one is red?? that damn thing broke off and we ended up getting one from a 98+ s-10 at the junk yard and messed around with the connections to make it work the sprayer and wipers were like backwards....so we just replaced the whole hazard switch with the blinker stalk.. it was only $25 at the junk yard....100 at auto zone...but with this i think it would of saved us alotttttt of time.....

Re: Broken Hazard Switch Repair How-to!
I am EXTERMELY HAPPY I'm not the only one who did this. I broke my Hazard Switch about a year ago and REFUSE to pay $40-$80 bucks from the dealer for it. And Besides i didn't even know where to start wiith it. Thank You for posting this one.

Re: Broken Hazard Switch Repair How-to!
Thanks alot man. I went to the dealer and they said there was no way to do it but to replace the whole thing and i told them i had a part number and everything...finally i gave up and went to anopther dealer and didnt even tell them what was wrong i just asked for the part. It took me a long while to get around to but god damn it was so easy to replace. Well not at first. Did you know that the horn goes off if you dont discconet the battery lol. I learned the hard way so my horn was blaring for about 15 mintues while i found a wrench. It went in really really easy...like it just slid in.
It took me a sec to get the old Switch and the stalk or whatever it is that holds the switch. I ended up taking the whole bezel out and taking the steering colum apart just to realize i was pulling it out at the wrong angle... Thanks alot man |

Re: Broken Hazard Switch Repair How-to!
Heh heh...I replaced the whole damn multi-function switch a couple of months ago. I found a new one on Ebay but it was still $100
 . I did get a nice new clean turn/cruise lever out of it at least though. LOL! I'm just tryin to make myself feel better about the 100 bones, bear w/ me!I'd say this is worthy of a sticky-icky! Last edited by jakedubb : 05-21-2004 at 12:24 AM. |

Re: Broken Hazard Switch Repair How-to!
Before you installed it you should have taken it back to the other dealer and shoved it in his face! LOL |

Re: Broken Hazard Switch Repair How-to!
The switch was $18 at my dealer, but my blazer is now fixed.
Thanks to this thread I avoided a $300-$400 dealer visit. Bob |
