Broken Hazard Switch Repair How-to!

rlith · 03-23-2004, 03:46 PM

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!

good how to man...the needle nose pliars wouldn't work for me..so i used a screw and heated it up w/ a lighter and screwed it in...let it sit..then yanked it out w/ the pliars

rlith · 03-23-2004, 04:05 PM

This issue is so common, any GM dealer will most likely have a couple in stock..

Sorry, for some reason I just felt that pic needed to be added.

And is there an easy way to take the whole dash surround off, it seems to get jamed by the shifter (auto obviosly)?????

The "PROPER" way is to first remove the lower kick panel, the remove the 2 colum bolts (15mm) and let the steering wheel rest in the seat...Then take off the surround... (Also good time to do the column to center shift conversion... ( http://forum.zr2.com/cgi-bin/ultimat...;f=12;t=000556 )

Damn...it's that easy. I went to the dealer a few months back to get this. They said I'd have to get the entire steering assembly. I guess I gotta go to another dealer that isnt filled with retards

ya, i went to the dealer and they told me I need the whole assembly too...someone on here told me about just the switch..and the guy was like, I've never heard of that before...plugged it into the computer and had to order one..they had none in stock...it was like $17

drewdaddyblazin · 04-13-2004, 08:52 PM

HOLY SHIT THANKS... mines busted too and i have a screw jammed in there... then the lights come on sometimes and then if the hazards are pushed down far enough the turn signals wont work... The dealership told me too id need the whole turn signal assembly which was like 300 FUCKING DOLLARS... Im like go to hell that is the most unbelieveable thing ive EVER heard...

The dealer part num is listed at the top. This has been available for a couple of years but they like to sell the whole switch (more money). Any local gm dealer will have it or can get it in 24 hours.
