WoooHooo. Just changed mine out W/O removing the steering wheel. The Torx25 on the face of the multi unit was the only tough one. Used the Torx bit w no driver and turned it with a 1/4" wrench. Thanks for the tutorial. 2 hours start to finish. Remember to move your electric seat all the way back b4 disconnecting the battery. I forgot & cost myself some unnecessary agony. Good luck with yours.

I very much appreciate that 1A Auto takes the time to make the DIY videos. I have referred to them many times and have bought parts from them as an appreciation. The parts came fast enough and were good parts. A lot of people commenting that they had funky stuff happening like other lights flashing instead of the turn signal. Check your grounds. 12v is crazy in how it tries to find a ground when the expected ground goes bad. I had a friend replace every part in his ignition and throttle body injection and the known good engine ran bad. Hold my beer and watch this. I took a jumper cable from the negative terminal and put it to the alternator bracket. The engine smoothed right out. He almost fainted. One engine ground had rusted apart and one was almost there. Learn from that. $500 later he sure did.

I truly appreciate your time in making the video. Not only was it appreciated but highly useful in changing out my multifunctional switch. Don't believe I could have done it without your video. Thank you very much..
Great video! I was able to do this without removing the steering wheel, after seeing some of the other comments. Just used the T25 driver and a 1/4” open ended wrench to get the one bolt out.
"SHORTCUT" 1/14/18. Thank you for video! I just replaced my multifunction switch and I bypassed taking off the steering wheel by using a star bit with a pair of vice grips on to it worked like a charm.
Excellent! I am still woking on trying to find and loosen the two 7mm lots holding the harness in place. I am working on a 2002 Buick Centry Thanks for you informative video, Bob
Thank you 1A Auto. Great video. Steering wheel doesn’t HAVE to come off but I see how it can make it easier if you don’t have the right tools to get that last torx out on the switch itself. I will be buying more parts from you in the future. Great videos.
Thanks for the video, very useful. I didn’t see anything about the removal or install of the hazard switch that’s part of the multifunction lever/switch.
Thanks so much for doing this, whatever they pay you it's not enough! I couldn't un clip the two wire over the column connector. I just cut the old harness and spliced in the new one.

Great video! Told me everything I needed to get the job done. Would have taken me a long time to figure it out on my own. Bought the part from 1A auto and it fit perfectly.
I was looking this up, because I had a friend doing this repair and I am amazed that a auto would be designed in such a way, that makes it hard to repair Thanks for sharing
Thank you for the great video, it made the project so much easier! I see why they wanted so much to replace it at the dealer. I was able to do it in my driveway with the tools I have (had to pick up a Steering wheel puller... 36 bucks @ Harbor frieght for a nice kit!) it worked perfect. the hardest part of the job was getting my big as* under the dash! thanks again!

Great video but I have one question. Why do does the snap ring have to be removed and you didn't mention putting it back. I assume you put it back on but didn't cover doing so...
1996 Buick Riviera owner here, that switch looks EXACTLY like the one on my car although it never is shown to be an exact replacement. I think I am going to buy it and find out if the wires are different and if so I'll make them correct. There are 2 tiny 2 pin connectors that are in mine that come out from the end of the harness away from the lever that have nothing to do with the lever itself I will have to splice into the new harness but that is an easy fix. My right turning lamp lights up solid every time I hit the brakes, if I pull on the lever like I am just about to turn on the high beams it goes out. First I am going to disassemble and see if it just needs cleaned out. I'll find out what's going on inside first. I might even make a video as this appears to be a real problem no one has addressed or identified in the forums and these are discontinued since 2012.
Thanks a bunch for the video on this job. Will help with my newly acquired 99 Tahoe. I utilize your videos quite a bit and appreciate the production level you guys and gals have on your channel.

Thanks to this video you convinced me, I'm almost 70 years old that I should take my vehicle to a professional. He had my vehicle for about 40 minutes from start to finish. A lot faster than it would have taken me if I would have tried.
you could have done it they made it look harder then it was and yea if someone had done it a few times it is a easy 40 min job or maybe 1 hour for someone first time
Very well done.. I've just found out that I have to replace my switch an I've never done one before however I am a good mechanic I seen this video and I'm going to give it a shot well narrated
I watched the video beginning to end just to see if I thought I could tackle this. After deciding to do it I would watch one step, pause the video, complete that step, then move on to the next. Job complete an in working order. Thanks for the tutorial.

@@sajen23 did you get around to it yet? If your turn signals and wipers, cruise etc. works and it's just your hazard lights not working you can replace just the hazard switch without doing the whole multifunction switch. You don't even have to remove the trim around the steering column. If you look down at the hazard switch you can see an area where you can stick in a small flat blade screwdriver and release the clip that is on the side of the hazard switch facing the front of the vehicle, you won't actually be able to see the clip but you just need to get a small screwdriver in there and make enough of a gap in there to pop it free then you can work the trim around enough to be able to pull the hazard switch all the way out without actually having to remove anything else. I got one from a junkyard but they have one on amazon too www.amazon.ca/Dorman-924-608-Hazard-Switch/dp/B003S15WQU The amazon one says it's not compatible with the gmt 400's but if you read the reviews it will work.
You can bypass pulling the steering wheel turning the steering wheel (top, 12 o'clock) to about the 8:00 position (drivers door). This will give you access to the torx bolt that is hidden by the steering wheel. I would still pull the fuse for the airbag since we're messing with the steering column wiring, just for the heck of it. Hope this helps.
Just a side note to anybody thats doing this job " you do not need to remove the Steering wheel" they remove the steering wheel for easyer to work but i changed my switch without removeing my steering wheel or taken out my ignition switch or takeing off the top plastic on steering wheel the only thing i had trouble with was unpluging the harness from main harness under dash after removing the two screws take me about 15-20 mins to wiggle the plug loose to unplug.. fairly easy job in afew hours..
On my 95 f150 this is a simple matter of only a few screws and a wire harness connection. On my 97 K1500 Suburban it is totally GM = GENERAL MADNESS. WTH were they thinking? Never mind, they were clearly not thinking at all. I actually worked on an auto assembly like once and this is in reality building the freakin thing.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure you do not have to remove the steering/airbag, nor the cylinder lock. You can just rotate the steering wheel to get to the torx screw.
Great video I really need some help I’m trying to fit new steering housing on my Chevy Astro 95 and I have removed the old damaged one but fitting the new steering housing I don’t know how to get the cam turn signal switch through the new housing and the multifunction switch? Do you guys have a video or some tips on how to do it. Would really appreciate your help as I haven’t a clue how to do it and there’s no videos on RUclips.
Now it’s been 1.5, almost 2 straight hours of my trying to get that thing loose. I’ve tried prying it with some flatheads, I’ve done it exactly the way the video says. The truck in the video is older than my truck, yet his slid right out while mine seems like it’s glued
Same here. I’m currently trying to take off the connections but they seem but o be stuck on. And the video they just slide right out. Any tips on how you got it
Will the multifunction switch cause a NO CONSTANT 12V to my brake relay under the hood? There also no power on the dark green wire or yellow wire at the main wire harness next to the column.
I was thinking the same. I removed that plastic to change my ignition lock cylinder and it was incredibly easy to remove. Taking the steering wheel off seems more of a hassle than anything else
@@Andrew-rk2ic let me know if that worked some asshole busted into my.truck in an attempted car jacking. Fortunately they were unsuccessful but they busted my switch and top and bottom covers. Before I take vehicle to my dads (since h has all the tools) let me know if u were successful and maybe I don't have to make the hour drive out where he lives in a car with no turn signals
I have to change out my switch stick because my BRAKE LIGHTS dont work or dont light up when i step on the brake pedal. But every thing else works blinkers park lights emergency lights.but not the brake lights. I even changed out the brake switch at the pedal but wasn't the problem. So the stick is the problem i found out. Just wanted to put this problem out to yall if yall r having the same issue with the brake lights.👍✌
yes it would before one goes to remove the steering wheel you need to unhook the battery and to do that removing the hood makes that job easier but if you want to do the job by removing the steering wheel might as well take the extra time to detach the hood

Video was enough to tell me I don't want to do it, scared of electrical stuff amd moving around this many wires.. is not something I want to be doing. Going to look at a few more options..
What if i changed the multifunctional switch and the relay for turn signals, but hazards stopped working? Only time hazards work is when i press the brakes with the hazard button up and holding it down the front right turns on only. Could it be wrong wiring or anything else?
Is this what I should replace if my signals only work when I toggle the hazzard switch? Turn signal relay is fine and everything else works, but occasionally I have to toggle the hazzard switch for blinkers to work.
if you do not remove the airbag and steering wheel it is not a issue with the snap ring either as someone stated before seems they left in footage from another repair in this repair that was not needed... you do not need to remove the Air Bag or Steering wheel to do the job
Replaced the multifunction switch now my wipers wont work , wiper motor sounds like it’s working but they don’t move neither does the mist go off. Any help
Awesome video man. My wiper washer spray is not working, looked at the fuse, could not find the relay on my 98 GMC Savana 1500 LE. I wonder if it could the switch. Its very hard to remove looking at this video.
What's that switch called?? where you plugged in that little harness with 2 wires recently bought a pickup that part is missing but don't know the exact name of it
Could this be causing my high beams not to work? I looked at the fuse and it looked burnt so i bought a new one. Still the same problem, only low beams work, not high beams.
I have a 98 Silverado would this work the same with my truck? The problem with mine is when I push the switch down or up to turn the signals on nothing happens but my hazard lights work so would this fix it?
Will this work for a 97 GMC JIMMY? Also, ever since the ignition was replaced, my cruise control & high beams don't work. When I turn on my headlights the hazard arrows stay on in the panel and the high beam indicator lite stays on, so I'm thinking the high beams are on all the time. Any suggestions?
+Carolyn Simpson The part shown in the video does fit your application. It should be the same or a similar procedure. Here is a link to them on our website. Hope this helps you out. www.1aauto.com/windshield-wiper%2c-high-beam%2c-hazard-light-switch/i/1azcc00007?RUclips&CTA+Comment&Scoqc-h_N6Q
i replaced this a while ago. but i got a "new" peice from a junkyard. now everytime i turn my left blinker, it flashes my highbeams. my running lights do not turn on and my dash light only turns on when i turn my blinker. would it be this multiswitch again or should i look elsewhere
Can we all apppreciate how overly complicated GM made this job. They could have made that cover clamshell apart and run the harness up to the back of the tilt assembly. Secure the switch with fastners from the top and bingo thos becomes a 5 min job.
I'm trying to troubleshoot a blinker-not-working problem on a '99 GMC... if high beams and wipers both work just fine, could my problem still be with this multifunction switch? by the way, brakes lights and hazards work too, while swapping the blinker fuse (#16) blows it immediately.
Remove your front turn signal housings. Look for a small (VERY small) burn mark where the wire loom runs up into the housing. The wire loom has a small area that is not protected, and rubs up against the metal, wearing away the wire insulation, just enough (I mean, like the size of the head of a pin) to hit he body metal and short out. Drove me darn near nuts tryin to figure out what was happening. I simply wrapped electrical tape around the loom at that spot, and the problem was solved. It's a very common problem.
Ive done this twice on my ,98 sierra. TRUST ME you do not have to pull the steering wheel or airbag. Get a mini torx box wrench to remove the screws behind the steering wheel.

can anyone tell me if the multi switch can be the issue of why my brake lights and rear turn signals dont work? ive changed all the relays, circuit boards and necesaary bulbs. still not working 😔
My green arrows on the instrument panel that indicate signal turning are not visible even though the signals work and I can hear clicking. Is this anything to do with that? Thanks
I just put a new battery & new alternator in my 95 Tahoe, battery light is on & when I turn on blinkers I see the energy drain, it’s sucking juice, is this the next step? Anything I should do or know?...
Well.. the snap ring removal seemed un needed. Th video also did not show this being reinstalled. I almost forgot it. No reason to remove it from what I see.
I believe this video was also part of a video where they replaced the clockspring because when he puts it back together he never puts it back on but then tells us to remove the alignment pin off our new part.
@@roberteslick1546 Thank you that clearly need to edit that out... I did just buy the part from them and it just arrived in the mail and looks ok we will see how well this goes.... I also wish I had a pin out of both connectors to know what pin controls what contact maybe they could add this info as well to their video if they edit it
hello I think I did exactly same job but I end up with another problem. My turning signals not working and my emergency hazard doesn't work as well but after I turn off the car my emergency hazard lights are on. after I press brake the hazard stop working

yes it would before one goes to remove the steering wheel you need to unhook the battery and to do that removing the hood makes that job easier but if you want to do the job by removing the steering wheel might as well take the extra time to detach the hood
You dont need to remove the steering wheel for this. And the hood lol
When did you reinstall the c-clip? Did you replace the clockspring? 16:43 what alignment pin? I dont have that?..
Thankyou for a super helpful video! It’s amazing how complicated they made these steering columns, and especially the switches.

Video was enough to tell me I don't want to do it, scared of electrical stuff amd moving around this many wires.. is not something I want to be doing. Going to look at a few more options..
Changed bulbs and multi function switch and still my directional indicator (right) engages both right and left, thoughts?
Ty my guys!
I'm curious as to if this vehicle has a lift of any kind and what size are those tires? Thanks
What if i changed the multifunctional switch and the relay for turn signals, but hazards stopped working? Only time hazards work is when i press the brakes with the hazard button up and holding it down the front right turns on only. Could it be wrong wiring or anything else?
Is this what I should replace if my signals only work when I toggle the hazzard switch? Turn signal relay is fine and everything else works, but occasionally I have to toggle the hazzard switch for blinkers to work.
How would you know if the switch is still good??
You guys should sell the dash plastic too for us out west folks. I am predicting a lot of broken plastic.

Don't forget to reinstall the snap ring on the clock spring before installing the steering wheel.
if you do not remove the airbag and steering wheel it is not a issue with the snap ring either as someone stated before seems they left in footage from another repair in this repair that was not needed... you do not need to remove the Air Bag or Steering wheel to do the job
Replaced the multifunction switch now my wipers wont work , wiper motor sounds like it’s working but they don’t move neither does the mist go off. Any help
Is the Green connector next to the gear selector unnecessary on a manuel. Because I cant find this connection on my manual k3500 98
Awesome video man. My wiper washer spray is not working, looked at the fuse, could not find the relay on my 98 GMC Savana 1500 LE. I wonder if it could the switch. Its very hard to remove looking at this video.
its easy but the first thing is do not have power to the wiper motor and have you tested the wiper motor with power to make sure it works
What's that switch called?? where you plugged in that little harness with 2 wires recently bought a pickup that part is missing but don't know the exact name of it
My ignition cylinder pushed in the little rectangle where it goes in and now I can't put it in, what can I do?
What is that switch with the 2 blk/grn wire that it plugs into?
6 point 4mm. Yup. That works. I heard 6.4mm and I was like who has that size on random.
Could this be causing my high beams not to work? I looked at the fuse and it looked burnt so i bought a new one. Still the same problem, only low beams work, not high beams.
I have a 98 Silverado would this work the same with my truck? The problem with mine is when I push the switch down or up to turn the signals on nothing happens but my hazard lights work so would this fix it?
I have the same problem. What did you do to fix it?
You don't actually have to remove the snap ring btw
I forgot to connect the small two wires. What is it responsible for those two small wires?
Will this work for a 97 GMC JIMMY? Also, ever since the ignition was replaced, my cruise control & high beams don't work. When I turn on my headlights the hazard arrows stay on in the panel and the high beam indicator lite stays on, so I'm thinking the high beams are on all the time. Any suggestions?
+Carolyn Simpson The part shown in the video does fit your application. It should be the same or a similar procedure. Here is a link to them on our website. Hope this helps you out. www.1aauto.com/windshield-wiper%2c-high-beam%2c-hazard-light-switch/i/1azcc00007?RUclips&CTA+Comment&Scoqc-h_N6Q
This switch working together when the stop light l have problems with my 91 chevy silverado no have stop light working
Do you absolutely have to remove the steering wheel cuz it seems like a quite a bit of work for a $40 part
+Wyatt Yates Yes, you need to remove the steering wheel to complete this repair.
i found it easier to also remove the smaller plate, lots more room, and just two more bolts. the room is really tight.
Thanks for the video. I now have the confidence to replace my switch by myself and not pay a shop.
i replaced this a while ago. but i got a "new" peice from a junkyard. now everytime i turn my left blinker, it flashes my highbeams. my running lights do not turn on and my dash light only turns on when i turn my blinker. would it be this multiswitch again or should i look elsewhere
+TheFavess We are unable to diagnosis your vehicle, we do recommend taking it to a local mechanic. Thanks for checking us out!
Can we all apppreciate how overly complicated GM made this job. They could have made that cover clamshell apart and run the harness up to the back of the tilt assembly. Secure the switch with fastners from the top and bingo thos becomes a 5 min job.
I'm trying to troubleshoot a blinker-not-working problem on a '99 GMC... if high beams and wipers both work just fine, could my problem still be with this multifunction switch? by the way, brakes lights and hazards work too, while swapping the blinker fuse (#16) blows it immediately.
Remove your front turn signal housings. Look for a small (VERY small) burn mark where the wire loom runs up into the housing. The wire loom has a small area that is not protected, and rubs up against the metal, wearing away the wire insulation, just enough (I mean, like the size of the head of a pin) to hit he body metal and short out. Drove me darn near nuts tryin to figure out what was happening. I simply wrapped electrical tape around the loom at that spot, and the problem was solved. It's a very common problem.
Ive done this twice on my ,98 sierra. TRUST ME you do not have to pull the steering wheel or airbag. Get a mini torx box wrench to remove the screws behind the steering wheel.
How do you remove the harness from the commectore under the dash
How do I return a broken multifunction switch that I buy from u guys and arrive broken it take 2 weeks to arrive

can anyone tell me if the multi switch can be the issue of why my brake lights and rear turn signals dont work? ive changed all the relays, circuit boards and necesaary bulbs. still not working 😔
check your grounds
Outstanding!
I just replaced my switch and didn't touch half the things you did nor did I need to remove the steering wheel. Took about 10 min
Just replaced mine and the left turn signal is stuck on...turns off when I hit the hazards but signals dont blink
Turns out it was set to left turn when installed,.reset it in there and works great. Thanks for the awesome video
My green arrows on the instrument panel that indicate signal turning are not visible even though the signals work and I can hear clicking. Is this anything to do with that? Thanks
No, those would be the lights inside the gauge cluster if the blinkers are actually working.
I just put a new battery & new alternator in my 95 Tahoe, battery light is on & when I turn on blinkers I see the energy drain, it’s sucking juice, is this the next step? Anything I should do or know?...
Pha TaLa did you find out why your battery keeps dying? I have the same problem.
Well.. the snap ring removal seemed un needed. Th video also did not show this being reinstalled. I almost forgot it. No reason to remove it from what I see.
WHAT IS / WAS THE PURPOSE OF THE SNAP RING FOR CLOCK SPRING IF YOU REMOVED IT AND DID NOT REPLACE IT ?
Brian Bartscher
I have the same question, what was the purpose of removing the snap ring?
I believe this video was also part of a video where they replaced the clockspring because when he puts it back together he never puts it back on but then tells us to remove the alignment pin off our new part.
@@roberteslick1546 Thank you that clearly need to edit that out... I did just buy the part from them and it just arrived in the mail and looks ok we will see how well this goes.... I also wish I had a pin out of both connectors to know what pin controls what contact maybe they could add this info as well to their video if they edit it
Not sure why GM didnt put a plug AT the switch LOL.
Stay gold.
I did this now my gmc 99 won't start security light comes on truck almost starts but wont 6 month can't figure out how or why it won't start ????
hello I think I did exactly same job but I end up with another problem. My turning signals not working and my emergency hazard doesn't work as well but after I turn off the car my emergency hazard lights are on. after I press brake the hazard stop working
+Alena Rozvodovskyy Double check your connections that they are good, that your bulbs aren't burnt out, and that your fuses are good
What a joke how many steps it is, but needs to get done. Great vid! 1997 C1500
Has anyone else had any problems with pulling out the connector u set the dashboard? It’s not coming out.
Would this be the same process for a 1997 gmc 3500?
+Wolfman Dan Yes, this should be the same if not extremely close to what is shown in this video. 1aauto.com
@@1AAuto thanks!
