Cobalt Multifunction Switch Removal

[@jorgeaguilar7304]

Thanks for the help! Pretty good video

[@dfrazier1]

Thanks Rich, saved me and my daughter a bunch of money!

Like the switch design, just plopped into a hole with tabs to stop it escaping, but dash panals are a nusance. The multipurpose panal remover and crowbar wins first prize lol :-)) You may want to make another, just incase you lose that one, just too bloody handy mr richpin :-)

[@RichpinTv]

I like that yes a back-up.

[@zx8401ztv]

richpin06a Yes :-), its just too dam handy for your work. The right tool makes a hard job easy, the reverse is true.

[@ManikMekanik]

Thanks Rick, very informative, so many videos don't mention what size tools you need :)

[@rjporres850]

Thanks for posting this video. I change my switch today and it was helpful.

[@bgregg55]

gm used the "ignition switches of death" on that cobalt.

[@RichpinTv]

They have been in the news lately.

My problem: Had to hold my signal switch for the left turn signal and headlights not working properly..the left would only work on low beam and the right would only work on high beam, but they both would work on high beam if I held handle in place, but both would not work on lowbeam....and my bells no longer rang.....Thank you for this video, I was able to successfully change out my multifunction switch which cured the signal light problem and the bell issue, but not the headlight issue...its a mystery to me. But had to give my self a little pat on the back as I am a 55 yr old widow...who NEVER worked on a car before, thanks to you I am feeling empowered and super glad I did not give the guy at the dealership 400 plus dollars to change the 45 dollar switch:) Any ideal on the headlights?

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

Did you find the problem with the headlights?

[@kennelson7559]

Thanks for posting, just had to change mine and this was informative. i probably would've broken the lock tabs otherwise. 😅

[@darthmassimo]

I need to replace the 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt Ignition Starter Switch, do you have any information on that process?

[@RichpinTv]

I have a Lock Cylinder & Housing Removal for the cobalt.

[@bridennovell]

2008 Susuki Forenza. PLEASE 😯 can you show me how to remove the turn signal multifunction lever?

[@RichpinTv]

If i can find one i will do a video of its removal.

[@bridennovell]

Ok. Thank you 👍

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

I gave a 2005. My directional return doesn't return to neutral. The headlights stopped working but I have all other lights and dash lights. Is this the problem?

[@rauldiaz494]

thanks for your video it is very useful but i forgot unplug the negative ware it doesn't make one problem right or what can happened i have one cobalt 2010 lt

[@bridennovell]

I have a Suzuki Forenza 2008 head lamps are On with the ignition off. this causes the battery to get uncharged (dead). I replace the turn signal multifunction lever for a new one and the problem keeps the same. I also check the instrument panel fuse block and engine compartment fuse block. and they are okay. I don't know what else can I look for in order to fix this problem. can you please help me

[@marionhutchinson3516]

Have a 2007 Pontiac G5 that has a faulty multifunction switch. Is the procedure much the same as the Cobalt?

[@romanfoster3820]

Hey great video! Do you have one for replacing the hazard switch? Can't find one on youtube at all!

[@RichpinTv]

I do not have one at this time.

[@jacobbarnett7759]

is this the same for a 2006 model ? my turn signal ind broke.

[@RichpinTv]

+Jacob Barnett The part numbers are the same from 05-07.

[@jacobbarnett7759]

+richpin06a thanks :)

[@ManikMekanik]

My 2010 is the second Cobalt I've owned, had to change the turn signal/headlight switch on both of them. Seems like an issue with these types of vehicles. So much plastic, I'm always afraid I'll break something and sometimes do, keep the superglue handy!

[@babyboy97dx69]

ManikMekanik My low beams started flickering for a while now there out completely, did u have this problem if so how do I fix it

[@Mndezthecreator]

hello there, i have a problem with my hazard warning lights button I think it's broken because when I press it start to blink but if im not press in it stops, do i need to remove the entire cover to fix ? i have a cobalt 2010 thanks for your time

[@costasstephanopolis1688]

how to fix mute signal Cobalt?

[@ms9252a]

That would be the front drivers side door speakers. When turn signal is activated the click sound comes out of the front driver side door speaker. Had the same problem just replaced speakers (driver and passenger) problem solved.

[@simonpowell9794]

Thank you! I wish i was as good at getting the panels off as you!

[@DS-kd3de]

what is the tool you are using to remove the covers etc....

[@RichpinTv]

I am using a panel remover.They do sell plastic ones which are less prone to marking the plastic.

[@TexasPLNR]

Unusual that both multi-function switches should fail at same time. Any reason behind this dual failure? Nice video!

[@laurakewl]

I have a question do we HAVE to disconnect the negative wire from the battery?

[@RichpinTv]

Manuals always state to remove the cable when dealing with electrics.

[@bridennovell]

Susuki Forenza 2008 hi😆 it's me again. just thinking😐 light sensor maybe it's not sensing?

[@davidcraine9335]

I just did this right now thanks for showing me also saved money on not having someone do it for me ..... Thanx

[@andrewblakely4398]

hola. un apregunta. pork no m ay corriente en. luz cajuela de mi cobal 2008. todos los destraba. funciona. solo ese no funciona.

[@EZRider1979]

Too bad you dont have a key to test the ignition switch.

[@RichpinTv]

I heard that it was only a problem if you load up on your key chain.
