• Q: How to replace the hazard warning switch on 2004 Chevrolet Impala?

  A: For Hazard Warning Switch replacement begin by setting the parking brake then remove the bezel cautiously by using a small flat-bladed tool from the Ignition Lock Cylinder. You should place the transaxle shift control indicator at 1 when dealing with vehicles equipped with column shift while adjusting the Steering Wheel for better access. The i/p instrument panel of impala requires both covers to be removed yet the monte carlo needs removal of its single left access panel. You should start by eliminating the steering column filler before you expose the instrument panel compartment door of the monte carlo. To reach the Hazard Warning Switch you must pull the left side of the trim plate while removing its screws from the i/p cluster. Pull out the switch by disconnecting its electrical connector then removing it from inside the i/p cluster trim plate. After placing the replacement Hazard Warning Switch on the i/p cluster trim plate the electrical connector must be connected. Push the i/p trim pad to secure all retainers properly then screw and tighten i/p cluster trim plate screws to 2 n.m (18 lb in). During installation the left access cover must go onto the i/p fuse block of the monte carlo vehicle while the impala needs both right and left access covers installed. First reinstall the steering column filler before closing the i/p compartment door of the monte carlo while you reposition the Steering Wheel back to its previous setting. Users should first put the shift control indicator to park if their vehicle has a column shift before attaching the bezel to the Ignition Lock Cylinder and releasing the parking brake.
