96 Blazer with a broken emergency flasher switch can I just pull out the switch and replace it or will I need to replace the whole mechanism?

 

It’s an assembly, I have never seen the hazard switch portion separate.

See what I'm talking about?

 

This this is why I'm confused. I'm just going to start pulling my dash off to get to it. I really wanted to avoid that if possible. I might try disconnecting the battery and see if I can't pull it out with a pair of needle nose I mean it's broken anyway right?

 

I do. Looks like an easy fix, I learned something today. The teacher becomes the student:

There was a recall a number of years back on the multi-function switch. Might be worth you while to bring it in to the dealership. If it hasn't been replaced before, they just might do that for you free.

 

Well I spent the big bucks and put it a whole new multi-function switch now I have no brake lights my blinkers work five but no hazards. I'm not so concerned about the hazard but I need my brake lights. Any ideals. Oh yeah I do have tail lights.

 

The brake lights died after the MF switch replacement? If your model year has a third brake light at the top of the hatch, does that work?

My mistake, I had pulled the hazard fuse and forgot to replace it. I know that was pretty dumb, I just got in a hurry to try it, but all is good now. Although that third brake light you were referring to does not work. Not sure I even want to mess with that now. You think it's just another headache or something I can tackle?
