Attach the switch to its place on the trim plate with full seating of all tabs while connecting the hazard switch electrical connector. The conclusion of the work involves installing the I/P accessory trim plate.
Q: How to properly service and replace the Hazard Warning Switch on Chevrolet Malibu?
A: Disabling the SIR system is essential before starting the process to replace the hazard warning switch on the vehicle. Start by taking off the Instrument Panel (IP) cluster trim plate from its position on the IP carrier while connecting the dimmer switch electrical connector if needed. Follow this step by disconnecting the hazard warning switch electrical connector after which a small flat-bladed tool helps release the retaining tabs of the hazard warning switch. You can remove the hazard warning switch through the back side of the IP cluster trim plate by pushing it outward. To install the new hazard warning switch fit its opening within the IP cluster trim plate before pushing it towards the inside until it secures properly. Complete the electrical connection of the hazard warning switch and do so also with the dimmer switch if needed. Reinstall the IP cluster trim plate onto the IP carrier after enabling the SIR system.
Q: How to replace the hazard warning switch on Chevrolet Impala?
A: Starting any Hazard Warning Switch replacement you must engage the parking brake along with setting the column shift transaxle to position 1. The Steering Wheel accessible area needs adjustment before removing the ignition switch bezel followed by both right and left panel access covers from the instrument panel fuse block. The next step requires removal of the steering column filler which also includes the ip cluster trim plate screws. The left corner of the ip cluster trim plate requires gentle rearward pull to detach it and expose the Hazard Warning Switch. Start the procedure by disconnecting Hazard Warning Switch electrical connectors from the ip cluster trim plate and then pull the switch away from this area. Put the Hazard Warning Switch into the ip cluster trim plate before connecting the electrical wire. The ip cluster trim plate requires pressing into the ip trim pad which securely seats all retainers before screw installation with a torque of 2 n.m (18 lb in). Reinstall both access covers that protect the ip fuse block and also replace the steering column filler in addition to the bezel at the ignition switch cylinder. Reposition the Steering Wheel to its proper position while setting the transaxle shift control indicator to park if needed then releasing the parking brake.
