Don't know if anyone has ever broke their hazard switch, but I did and I just replaced it. So I figured just in case here is how its done.
Its super easy as you can tell, with taking pics it took about 5 mins. Sorry bout the crappy pics.
I had to go to the dealer for it. $18 GM part #15174447 for a 97

Take a pair of neede nose pliers and just pull the old one out.

I wonder if they have this for a 96, i had to replace mine, broke while installing stereo, but i had to buy the whole assm. from a junk yard, about 80 bucks and half a day later it was fixed! lol!

 

dont know. When I called all the local parts store only one had it, but it was the turn signal, hazard and all for $350. Called local Chevy dealer and they had just the hazard for $18. It should be the same for a 96

 

These would really help. When you broke yours off did your hazards stay on? Did your signals work before you replaced the broken switch?

 

Run a search. I have posted the PN for just the hazard switch which I believe has a 95-current application range in past threads. Price should still be less than $20.

 

I have a 96 blazer and mine broke. The dealer said its a combo switch and I cant get just the hazard switch.. Even Advanced said the same thing.

this is frustrating I wish I could just disconnect it . I pull the fuse and break lights dont work.

 

If you did the same thing I got a switch from the dealership. It's like $18. I was taking my dash trim off and the button got broken off. It took me a few minutes but you use needlenose pliers and pull it out and push the new one in. If you can't find it I can get it from the dealership over here and send it. You pay for it of course...

 

Even with the neednose it come up just so far and stops. If I do get it out will the break light and turn signals still work till I get the replacement?

 

No. None will work.
