What you are describing is called the multifunction switch. The replacement is covered in the Tech Article (DIY) section (click the link to open the index of this section). Scroll down to the Electrical & Lighting section. If you have more questions, post up and we'll try to get them answered.

Be prepared to perhaps spend big $ on this item: I got 2 quotes for my no longer owned 96,one from a GM dealer $600+ installation not included. Then from a GM-AC Delco jobber in my area: $430! After finagiling prices through my local NAPA (As I am a dealer account) The best I could get was $310 for the GM part! I passed! The 96 was retired and a 97 took its place and one of the first things I looked at was this MFS! It had been replaced! So I lucked out! NEVER pay LIST prices for any GM part,period! Good luck!

The most common AC Delco unit (w/ tilt & cruise control) is $223 from rockauto.com.

well i got it fixed. my buddy at a chevy auto dismantler got me 1 for $50, came off a s10 with 43k. works great and not smoking. took about 2 hours to fix, had to drop the steering column to get to i believe the break light gear lever un-locker which was the hardest part. i can get any part cheap. already changed the upper and lower control arms on both sides for $50 an arm, and an engine ran me $650 with 60k on it. i can get all parts for this cheap besides new ones =)
thanks for the help guys
