Nvious Kreationz · 06-21-2006, 10:42 PM

I did it today cost me $11.18 at the local dealer and took 7 min to install
I drove around with packing tape wrapped around my steering column for 2 months holding the switch down because I wasn't paying for a new multi switch!!!!

Jesster · 07-27-2006, 04:15 AM

wish i would have saw this a week ago. the whole turn switch and everything costs about 500.00 and the dealership was more.

Jesster · 07-27-2006, 02:44 PM

anyone know where to get that repair kit from?

bill 4.3l 5spd · 07-27-2006, 07:14 PM

dealer

97chevySS · 03-01-2007, 08:46 PM

i was wondering where to get the repair kit because i need one asap

Jesster · 03-02-2007, 03:05 PM

you get the kit from the chevy dealer, they might try to say you have to buy the whole thing but that is not true there is just a kit with the button. the dealer knows it

Nvious Kreationz · 03-02-2007, 03:15 PM

Read the thread you just posted in ALL you need to know including part #

Jesster · 03-02-2007, 07:43 PM

GM Hazard switch repair Kit part # 15174447

SickSpeedMonte · 03-17-2007, 10:16 PM

Thank you for the write up!

I just bought an S10 and the prev owner included the $100+ turn signal lever with the truck. This write up saved me the time of having to dis-assemble the column. I just took apart the lever, grabbed the hazard switch, and now I can swap in in, in a matter of a few minutes.

I guess if that works then I can sell the rest of the lever to someone with another problem

$nowman · 03-19-2007, 06:16 AM

i broke switch #2 tonight taking off my dash peice, damn no tilt steering wheel!

going to the dealer tomorrow

with the hazards on!

Maybe let the air out of one of your tires

bigbutr · 04-03-2007, 03:36 PM

I didn't use packing tape. Somehow I was able to jimmy one of those sunglasses screwdrivers into the hole to hold it down. My first day on this forum and already it's saving me money.broken hazard.jpg

ricky96 · 07-05-2007, 02:20 AM

hey anyone know if the local napa or advanced auto parts will have this or is it a dealer part?

Not NAPA thats where I work and couldn't come up with one I tried crossing the GM number

epiphaknee · 07-14-2007, 03:17 AM

This is such a GREAT post!!! I have almost fainted each time with the price of the new part and the labor required to fix this little GM curiosity. I can't wait to order and get those needle nose pliers out.

Thanks Again -

97 riddin real lo · 07-17-2007, 02:55 AM

Ok so i have a 1997 s10 extended cap and i couldn't pull the piece out of my console... so i just gorilla glued it!

lol this no tilt sucks!

S10SittnonDUBS · 10-02-2007, 05:33 PM

Thats a booger of a repair had the same thing happen to my 95 Dime.

tigmaned · 10-04-2007, 11:38 AM

same repair for a 2001 s-dime too?

capspauld · 10-04-2007, 10:04 PM

Think so Ed. It says it applies to all 95+ so should be good for you

gump2388 · 10-06-2007, 12:36 AM

haah i fixed mine. mine broke one day and i stuck some jb weld in there and them suckers aint flashed since. i love that stuff.

jebstuart · 10-16-2007, 10:41 AM

That switch kit worked for me on a 2000 C3500HD chassis cab. The electric trailer brake controller stopped working. It wasn't getting a signal yet brakes and hazards worked. If I pushed on hazard switch sideways, brake controller then worked. We use hazards all day sometimes and brake/turn and hazards all go thru turn signal/hazard switch. When I removed it I could see the bottom contact was jammed and had no spring tension. I did remove the dashbezel. steering wheel and bottom cover. I removed top cover bolts so I could rotate it out of the way so I could insert small screwdriver to remove switch. I did't want to do it blind and possibly damage the turn signal switch. next one will probably do the same way

Thx for info

Mrpotatohead922 · 10-26-2007, 08:06 PM

where do you buy it at?

it shows up as a 98^ piece because its black instead of red. thats when they changed. looks better imo.

KILLBOY POWERHEAD · 07-15-2008, 08:33 AM

yes it does work , although mine was broken off even , i used a pick to push the moving part of the switch down and put the pick into the side of the plastick, on another note , i work at a dealer and we dont list the kit for 95-98 , but shows ya what gm knows

To all that's interested,here's the kit... I got it for my
96 Sonoma

MTchevyS10 · 07-25-2008, 06:39 PM

Are there supposed to be pictures on this thread, because for some reason I can't see any of them if there are. I may send my turn switch assembly back if I can see how to do it clearly on here. Thanks...

I did mine a few weeks ago...

I was prepared tho...already had the part...

556mm · 07-25-2008, 07:00 PM

ive had mine sitting in my room for years havent touched it lol. is it hard to put in?

Nah...but take a close look at the replacement. There is a little tang on one side..you'll need to nudge the original away from that side and get hold of it with some needle nose pliers.

556mm · 07-25-2008, 07:07 PM

cool thanks.

I wish you had pictures!
Mine is cracked pretty low at the bottom, but I assume this replacement piece will do the trick?

It will..there is a sticky around here somewhere I think...it has pics..

MTchevyS10 · 07-30-2008, 12:48 AM

Short of chiseling the thing out, I cannot get the broken piece to come out for some reason....

It's the little tang that's holding it up...look at the replacement to see which side it's on. I ended up breaking the side on the old one...just be careful not the break the housing it sits in...

Wrkn prgs · 07-30-2008, 02:30 AM

just did mine today. I Didn't search, and was gonna replace my whole turn signal switch when I found this thread. Too bad I already had my steering wheel and everything off

But oh well. Guess it's off to the junkyard to find a leather wrapped steering wheel
