Gm Multi-Function Turn Signal Switch Replacement 2001-2009

[@markmiller4348]

at 7:11 when he starts using the T25 and an wrench, I found an easier way. Crank the wheel full left and you can use a regular T25 screwdriver as the steering wheel cover flattens out on the top for access. Much easier, especially on re-assembly

[@victoriafranco5527]

Guess I should've done that before I pulled the battery.... lol

[@emmanuelburnett]

Awesome!

[@peterganucheau6372]

Thank you SO quick and easy! Good man for sharing. I cant get my cruise to work, already put resistors on LED taillights hoping new turn/cruise switch helps

[@larrymiller1122]

Dude your trick with the 1/4” wrench and the torx bit was the best. Watched a different video at first and when he got down to the switch he said “just remove the two screws and the switch pulls off. It’s easy as that”. Glad I was able to find your video. I definitely subscribed. Thanks!

[@nmartin5551]

Im back today, couldnt remember the size on the screws. I saw the same video you mentioned. Not helpful.

[@marcosquinones6022]

Thanks for the video just saved myself $50 from not having to take the truck to the mechanic and to anyone reading these comments who plans to do this his trick with the wrench works but I used a T25 Allen key which made life very easy

[@AaronHinesAuto]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@ImYourHitBox110]

Thank you also keep making them​@@AaronHinesAuto

[@molinashoundgt5981]

What issue was your truck doing? My blinkers come on when I press the breaks and when I turn the truck on the blinkers come on faintly and stay stuck on the dash

[@robertmendick3195]

The video mentioned about the small spring-loaded electrical contact pin on the turning signal switch. The spring went bad on my vehicle and the horn stopped working. A new turning signal switch with a properly working contact pin fixed the problem.... Good video, right to the point with clear instructions. Thank you

[@travistaylor2137]

Saved me some cash with this vid man! Thanks a bunch! I was going to take it to my mechanic but after seeing your vid I did it myself on my 08 Impala. Worked like a charm and I stopped flashing people with my brights and getting dirty looks every time I took a right turn.

[@kristen6074]

THANK YOU! Holy smokes I've been dealing with this issue for months and was hoping my dad would help me since he was a mechanic (Retired due to medical issues). But now I can fix this myself!

[@Bluejay-r5u]

Same

[@bryandiel6773]

Replaced my turn signal switch today. The front torx screw you have to be very careful with it so not to strip it while turning the torx bit with a wrench. I put a flat head screwdriver against the bit to keep it pushed into the screw while breaking it loose with my 1/4th inch wrench. I bought a 1/4" ratcheting box wrench to make the removal easier.

[@mhoward3015]

This video helped me a lot. Thanks. I have one turn signal not working correctly. After confirming the bulbs were good I was sure it was the flasher but after watching this video I'm convinced its the turn signal switch.

[@willriggs3409]

Same here, right turn signal doesn't seem to want to work 90% of the time. Gonna swap mine out this weekend!

[@juanrocha7965]

Did it work I’m at the same spot with my 2005 2500 Chevy?

[@terrencemurrin1280]

Well done! Nice to see things explained well without a lot of unnecessary commentary!

[@joeykennedy418]

Thanks for the video! I just bought at ‘06 GMC Sierra and drove it at night for the first time. Turned right, high beams came on. I laughed because I knew this was a problem with these year models.

[@ralfie8801]

Good video, what I understand from another video, the steering wheel can be turned to the 3 o’clock position (straight ahead being 12 o’clock) and then the bottom screw can be removed with a regular torx driver instead of a bit and a 1/4” wrench.

[@reggiehall7612]

This video was very helpful. I know it saved me at least $200 in labor. Plus, I was able to buy the part at a competitive price rather than paying the repair shop markup. I just finished this 'half-hour' job. It took me three days. The 'little pigtail' at 6:37 was a FREAKIN' NIGHTMARE! Getting it apart was easy. Putting it back together was near impossible. No room to get my hands or fingers in there. The whole job was a frustration of alignment when putting things back together. I think it would have been easier if I had removed the steering wheel, but I didn't want to mess with it. If I ever have to replace this stalk again, I will gladly pay someone to do it.

From the Rock Auto page on this switch. "Switch malfunctions can cause a variety of safety issues, including non-functioning brake lights, headlights, tail lights, turn signals, hazard lights or wipers. Because of its role, switch quality is vital. Each WVE switch is engineered to meet or exceed OE performance specifications and manufactured from the OEM preferred blend of nylon- and glass-filled plastic for exceptional strength, and includes premium copper-, nickel- or silver-plated electrical terminals to ensure robust electrical connectivity. WVE offers extensive selections of exact-fit/exact-function switches for foreign nameplate or domestic models. Designed using semi-precious metal contacts Each switch subjected to rigorous testing processes Complies with all federal motor vehicle safety standards Mounting and connectors identical to OE"

[@hawknation12woman37]

WOW I'm impressed how simple and easy you made that be. I've seen a lot of videos and this is one of the best I've come across, not only with the step by step but you also show us the tools we will need and give us the links to get replacements for some of us that tend to break stuff 🤔🤔👀👀😁😁 Thanks again!! It helped tremendously!💪🎉🎉🎉💪

[@AaronHinesAuto]

glad to hear helen! thank you for the kind words!

[@hawknation12woman37]

[@kylenunnelley1482]

Alright man just replaced mine finally had the part just super busy with other work on the truck and I also appreciate the link to the new plastic cause mine did break a little bit it's 15 years old so it's all good but awesome process all the way through thank you again

[@Notthatmexican]

I just bought a used pickup and this video finally explained why my high beams were turning on. Thanks this was helpful

[@chessteachersandlearners4458]

You did what others could not, just by saying that the little horn tab could get damaged allowed me to repair my intermittent horn as I turned to the right only then would it work, so cleaned the brass ring, now the horn functions properly, way to go!

[@cacmex]

I was ok with the high beams coming on, I would just simply hold right turn signal slightly as to not cause the high beams to come on. My cruise control just went out as well, time to replace. I gotta have my cruise control. Great video, I appreciate it.

[@dragonsKeeper210]

It gets annoying after while because then you have to hold it so they don’t come on randomly at night

[@poppadbear2016]

Great video! You saved me a ton of money. I had a guy at a shop replace this for me some years ago, the shop charged me $500. $300 was for just the part... I stopped going to those crooks. Thanks for doing these types of videos!

[@Roobah]

I need to replace mine. I thought $170 for the part was steep.

[@jamaaedwards1667]

Dealing with this problem on my 2006 Trailblazer, going to change it soon. Appreciate you in advance!

[@stevnalexan300]

Good video: I change mine out because when running my cruise control. It would shut off if I change lanes with my signal light on. Hit my signal any at all would shut my cruise off. This change out did fix it.

[@slikk315]

Bro great video thanks for the help. I laughed out loud though when you said "put stearing wheel in lowest position" then raised it all the way up and tried to get it off. Clean edit though to when wheel is lowest.

[@bryandiel6773]

Same thing my 04 Tahoe, I was delaying the replacement of my multifunction switch, because I heard the steering wheel had to come off. Now i can go ahead and tackle this project..

[@indiothehauler7418]

The best video ever thank you the hardest part was snapping on the two cover parts around the steering wheel

[@createmomentum]

Thanks! I had the high beam issue. 2008 burb. Loved the no steering wheel removal trick.

[@paulncvic]

This is awesome 👏- thank you! My 2007 97x just started to display the same symptoms. I was hoping it maybe just dirty contacts but it’s better to just replace the switch.

[@bobbybenn8275]

Thanks sir, I have the same problem. I was skeptical of doing it, but you made it so simple. Thanks again and God bless

[@Sreven-f7c]

Out of the 5 videos yours was the best to do. Thank ypu.

My 2004 Suburban just started doing this. Super helpful video, thank you so much my friend.

Hey How Much Those The Sinal Hand Cost...Cuz My 2003 Avalanche Its Turning My High Lights On When A Turn My Sinal On

Thank you for this great tutorial, fixed my Hi beam on right turn issue.

[@4thwalltvandfilm]

Thanks very much. I have a 2005 Tahoe with this exact issue. Nice to see 190k+ on this one I have 180K+ miles and considering a newer vehicle but the Tahoe still runs great.

[@AaronHinesAuto]

they are great vehicles, and repair parts are easy to find

[@sergioseanez4299]

thank you for the info. the mechanic wanted 85.00 to do the job. my son and i did it in 30min. and at no cost.

[@AaronHinesAuto]

I’m glad to hear! I bet that’s a good feeling

[@danc.1684]

Same problem with my 2006 GMC Yukon. Thanks for explaining everything and saving me work. Good job bro.

@Zion Remy no problem =)

[@derekhardin5321]

Looks like a pretty simple fix. I have to replace mine on a 2004 Tahoe. The mechanic wants 350 bucks plus parts to do this job.

[@Nitronerd]

Thanks for this vid. My 2003 Silverado 2500HD did same thing. Brights go on when using turn signal. Similarly, I changed out the lever and problem solved. I also mention that there were no bolts in the steering wheel shroud. I'm original owner. Came from factory without those bolts. The bolts aren't needed.

[@AaronHinesAuto]

Very strange!

[@davfinport]

Same problem!! Almost got shot because I brighted a crazy person when turning right. I removed my high beam fuse for now. Now it goes to bright and the lights turn off!! Hope to take this apart tomorrow. Thanks!

[@hpiracerxbrian1]

Same issue as me on my 03 trailblazer! Crazy! thanks for the video it is very helpful to see what I'm getting myself into! 🥂

Nice vid! Exact same problem....cant wait to fix it so people dont think im flashing

[@johnniedavis9455]

You explain that perfectly

[@SunnyDaysRFun]

Thanks for video and link to buy a switch with cruise control $88.78 which was half the price of one they sale at auto zone, and then I saw one for $49.88 so I bought it. I installed it and it failed, right signal would at times not work, so now I ordered the $88.00 one as suggested in the link above. The bottom cover bezel is not held together by any kind of screws, I know this because I'm the original owner of my 2004 Silverado, and this problem started a few years ago, it now has 282k

[@LiLac22281]

Thank you. I don't have the high beam problem but I hear a grinding noise when I use my right turn signal and it'll cut off. I have an '03 Yukon. Wish me luck 🤞🏼

[@debrastrickler6941]

Thank you so much Aaron - My cruise stopped working but both of my turn signals work. So when it is time to change it for a new one than I will be able to replace it myself!!! I already changed out the fuse for cruise so in halfway there. Thank Again! Smiles ~ Debra 082820

You're awesome bro. I feel I can do this now without a problem. Thanks

[@Mike_The_Hog_A_Nator]

I have an 02' Blazer ZR2 and the flashers or turn signal works, cruise control works, but the wipers have a mind of their own. I can turn the wipers on & back off, then sometimes they stop, but mostly they keep wiping for about 12 more wipes before stopping.

[@liberty5217]

I HAVE A 03 GM 2500HD. It pulls a landscaping trailer, sometimes when I turn the right turn signal on the flashers come on? NOT all the time. Thank you Chris Jones

[@davidsomerville7868]

FYI if you don't have cruise control just replace the stalk with a cruise control one and shazam, you now have cruise. The pigtail that he mentions is for the cruise, the connector is just sitting there waiting for a mate :-). I have a WT model so no options and cruise was the one I missed the most.

[@325-k9k]

Alot of pre 2007 models are drive by cable like chevy express you need a cruise controo throttle body and vacuum actuator with a second cable. Your thinking of drive by wire

[@nathanpartridge3565]

Worked perfect on my 2007 Silverado Classic 1500.

[@Flako647]

Tks aaron hines money saver i just did mine on a 2007 gmc sierra

[@mikecerasaro1148]

So I had the same exact issue when I replaced the signal switch everything worked except the cruise control everything functioned before except like what you were saying the high beams came on on the right hand signal so when I replaced everything worked perfectly okay except for the cruise control now what's the issue on that

[@johnnytarin7300]

I'm having a problem with my turn signals not coming on at all can my turn signal switch cause that

[@Sinchle]

Awesome video. But I came here to see how to jerk the lever out. Thanks, I may have to replace the switch later on.

[@alanavila705]

Quick tip. If you use the tip and the wrench put some tap on it to prevent the tip from going back. You won’t have to hold the tip with your finger and it will make it a lot easier and faster.

[@derekHboone]

Thank you for this. I need to replace mine also. Got the same problem with the high beam

[@superssport]

Same problem with mine. Great step by step video. Thanks.

[@stellijer]

Is this similar to the switch on a 2007 Impala? I have a problem where the high beams keep coming on just from hitting a bump or when I use the turn switch. The high beams usually are pull back to flash, or push forward to keep them on. Unfortunately they keep coming on and annoying other drives who think I'm doing that on purpose. I don't know if cleaning a contact is possible to fix the problem without replacing the entire switch?

[@chi2nwa]

Thanks a lot this video might’ve saved me some money 😅

[@siix4siix]

Thanks for the video. Helped a bunch

[@louievillalobos1937]

Thanks. Finally got that fixed with your help.

Great video. Thank you. Worked exactly as you described! Mine was also missing the two bottom bolts holding the bottom cover on. Does anybody know what bolts they were?

[@bfpdude001]

Right on. Good tips on here. I will be doing that

[@terrybgetchell1937]

I have an 05 Colorado and the cruise control hasn't worked in years. Would replacing this turn signal fix that? I have that exact same turn signal as in the video. I haven't found a fuse for the cruise control so I imagine it would be a replacement issue.

[@sams5155]

Tnx saved me a lot of work, great job explaining and showing the process and causes.

In my truck it keeps popping the fuses for the on the passenger turn signal and I have no low beam headlight on the passenger side, will changing the switch fix this

[@johnshannon6622]

Used T25 with quarter inch socket with extension and got that bolt out by turning steering wheel using the bottom of wheel could reach it little angle but it works try it saves time GOD BLESS 🙏

[@racefan32]

What about a 2006 Colorado? My issue is the Brake lights don't work but the high center one does. All the turn signal ones do, as does the cruse control, I've be pointed in the turn signal switch direction?

[@michaelgraves7482]

What did you find out? I have a 2005 Silverado with the same problem

[@Legendary_Frank]

The issue I’m having is I just put spider headlights on with the tube protectors on and with the turn signals off while driving the truck says on the cluster turn signal on which I don’t understand when it says that the signals aren’t on and to make the warning go away you have to turn the signal on and off

I have a question. My 2002!Chevy Avalanche right blinker wont blink on my dash or tail light will this helo fix the problem or do you have any idea what it could be?

[@itcshifter8114]

My high beams are stuck in the on position, and I have no running lights or regular beams, the control housing was damaged from towing my truck. Will a replacement of this switch restore my headlight function?

[@beardedswordsman2901]

I have left turn signal that basically turns on the hazards but right turn signal works normally but this is a random issue and it does stop malfunctioning after awhile or when I hit the bezel so I'm assuming it's this switch.?

[@41Fivin]

thank you for this video have the exact same problem

[@karinagutierrez3975]

Have been having an issues with my right turn signal, left signals works fine but right does not blink hope this will fix the issue.
