Recall we all know is an issue

[negolien]

The problem was the solder points cracked during temp fluxes.

then in theory yes if you know what your doing when you solder you should be able to fix it

A new one is $16 at o rieles and they have one with a black button and red hazard symbol (just looks a little better) its worth the few bucks and minuets just do it so it doesnt completely fail at the wrong time and you end up causing an accident or something.

My internet search revealed that the cheap ones were Dorman brand and I don't put Dorman parts in my cars unless there is no alternative.

are you crazy...the dorman one looks way worse...it isn't setup to be lighted for one thing...why would you pay $15 for the dorman that won't last long when you can go to the stealership and even there the ac delco is only $45...Also you can try cleaning the contacts on the multi-function switch first...that was the main part of my problem

I still think it looks better. Functions perfectly fine. and it is lit...

crooked as fduck

Of course it works for now...give it a while, bet it dont last too long

I'm not going to lie I personally liked the look of the stock hazard switch better. The way the all red switch lit up at night always looked pretty cool to me. I never knew there was a recall for them though, but I never had any problems with mine when I had an Alero.

BWAHHAAAHAAAAA fkin ghetto bro lol come on you can do better than that. That's like buying a nice $1000 15" sub and putting into some gay prefab Wal-Mart box lol.

Hahahaha they recall after most everyone with that year car most likely changed them already.

I still have my bad one in my junk box. Wonder if gm will give me a refund for the part?

Hahaha more bs!

[paul ron]

it was an easy job. the hardest part was locating the stupid clips that hold the center vent in place.

btw, dont buy the cheaper replacement. i returned 2 of them since they were both defective. it cost me postage twice n really pissed me off.

oh on examination of the old part, i didnt see any cold solder anywhere. i heated with my soldering iron n no difference.

[paul ron]

now how about recalling the stupid ignition switch 10 minute thing?

Agreed. I used to "perfer" to get the better parts and not Dorman. After buying Dorman lug nuts for the Delta, torquing to spec, then 2 block later the all 5 lugs on one wheel where backed out to the point of the wheel almost falling off...yeah

They don't replace the switch, they put a groment in the key I've already had my ign switch replaced, but I would like to buy a newer one, just to be sure
