My hazard switch is being extremely stubborn. How do I get it out? I've got the replacement part, but i must be not doing something right or don't have everything off that needs to be off. If someone could just tell me how they got the stubborn sucker out I'd appreciate it.

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

the price varies from 1 area to another

My '97 S10 has the hazard switch in place, but it's stuck on the off position.

Any ideas?

I'm thinking about buying the whole module off ebay and taking it to an automotive electrical shop.

I bought my switch a few weeks ago for around $15 from the dealer. I've had my cover off a bunch of times but I guess the switch finally threw in the towel and broke the last time I messed with it. Stupid inop fuel gauge

i tried pulling mine straight out, and i just broke the part that you said to grab with pliers.

my friend is the one that actually broke it, now i need to figure out how to make him pay labor...

also, bump.

i got a 02 sonoma .latch thing broke but nothin else if i get just the button will it fix the latching part? hazards want to blink all the time and wont stop had to wedge the button down with a interior clip . what do i need to do replace button or whole thing?

+1 for s10forums!

I called my local GM dealer and told them I needed to replace the hazard switch. after a moment he says it'll be $164! I ask him to look up the part number and he's like "Oh, is that the hazard switch? That will be $36" oh well, so much for buying local.

To the people having trouble removing their old switch, there is a tab that locks it in on the back of the switch (the side closest to the dash) I stuck a jewelers flat head down the back of the switch to wedge open the tab and then used the pliers to pull from the gap i'd just created. hard to explain but if you look at the new switch you'll see the lock. then just get a good grip and tug it out.

the OP shows this in the picture with the pliers wedged in, but using a small screwdriver to the left of the pliers helped to release the lock in my case.

Hey. good fix fellas. I spent $18 on the part but it took me some time to extract the old part without dicking up the upper column trim. About one hour and done. Thanks!

Alright, I broke mine. Looking for the hazard switch itself, they are up to $40 now.
I found an entire wiper switch assembly from discountbodyparts.com for $40-$50.

With 98+ how do you remove the steering column bezel/cover? Does it just pop off or do you have to disassemble the steering wheel? I guess I should try poppin it...

i replaced this switch and had to remove my bezel again afterwards and didnt snap it of this time but now everything is wack. i have to hold it down to get it to work and on different angels to use my signals so i put a second new one in and nothing at all. i found a decent priced multifunction switch 80 bucks shipped. it includes a hazard switch so i hope this works i think the internals were shot on my old one any tips ? 95 sonoma 4 banger 5speed
