Clickin noise from hazard button

[Atmosphere]

Thanks!

I just bought an 01 alero last month and it came with the hazzard switch pushed in the dash as well. It still functions fine.. just gotta stick your finger in there and push it. Anyway, How the hell does that happen? You would have to push really hard to break it wouldnt you? Now that I read this I guess its common. Can anyone give me some tips on getting to it? Someone mentioned they would do a write up on it a few posts back. You get to it by removing the center vent right? How do I go about that? Pry around the edges until it pops out?

Gonna have to say thank you as well, this has been driving me crazy cause I don't crank my stereo, not exactly the tempo count I was looking for in music

Oh, and I now win the argument with my girl about where the noise was coming from... BURN !! Haha

Cheers !!

airrazor, thanks for the bump. Mine just started doing this... i didn't even know we had a fix already for it.

+1 thread zombie. It helped this time!

Ya couple years after I had the turn signals replaced it started doing that. I let it go even though it drove me mad and it just went away one day. Never looked at it.

OR, if you just can't wait........

Drill a hole right Thar



Then loop the appropriate sized cable tie thru it and around the harness plug behind the H-switch, and tighten securely. But before doing that, take your favorite contact cleaner and spray that sucker:





Then never use it again

Gotta replace the hazard switch, what's the trick to removing the center vent?

[03Alerosil]

I actually cracked mine getting it out. I even removed the radio and the clips were still a pain to depress enough to remove it. There really is no trick. Just have to find the 2 metal spring tabs that hold the bottom in place and push th, upwards. You can replace it without removing the vent. Just remove your instrument cluster.

Neither are hard to do. Remove center vent via to clips on the bottom side of vent, and then look left and up and a child could figure it out from there. For multi function switch, just remove steering column cover and you will see a tourx on the top side, romove that torx and wiggle mfs and it will pop loose, then remove the two connectors going into it, easy.. let me know if that didn't make sense

Do you happen to have a link or part number for the black plastic bracket that the hazard switch snaps into?
Sorry if it seems like I'm driving you crazy, as I emailed you as well.
Found the part number you posted earlier.
