trying to replace hazard switch tonight since my turn signals only blink once or twice but not sure how to take off the woodgrain trim?? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

its only held in by clips, but theyre plastic and can break easily.

...three on top row, three on bottom row

Use a plastic putty knife at the sides or top/bottom edges.

Slow and gentle pressure...it will come straight out.

yes, just as these guys describe, use a putty knife, or like I used, a pocket knife....just a thin blade. Once you plug the switch in and slide the unit back into the dash, push the switch on/off as your pushing it into the dash as it gets snug to make sure it turns on but more importantly a second push springs it back to off.

I actually put mine in and then pushed on it only to find that the fit is sooooo snug that it was squeezing the housing and preventing it from springing off....I took it in and out a few times and maybe that worked it into just the right position to allow it to turn off and on w/no problems once in the dash. The part # as a "B" instead of an "A" which the dealer said was just the next iteration of the same part...no problems...but any diff. can make it very snug....anyway, just fyi, you may need to put it in and out a few times to 'work' it into position/fit to operate easily....or, you may be lucky! easy job.

Thanks for the help guys! It is always helpful to get advice even on these seemingly simple jobs. The biggest help was knowing how many clips and where. All went well and now my signals(well, the wife's signals) are working great again.

Thanks again!!
