SUBJECT: INFORMATION ON HAZARD BUTTON/MULTI-FUNCTION SIGNAL SWITCH DAMAGE DURING I/P OR CLUSTER REMOVAL OR REPLACEMENT

MODELS: 1994-95 CHEVROLET AND GMC TRUCK S/T MODELS

THE FOLLOWING IS AN UPDATE ON THE INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT OF THE I/P CLUSTER AND THE PROCEDURE NECESSARY TO AVOID POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE MULTI- FUNCTION SWITCH (MFS) AND ESPECIALLY THE HAZARD BUTTON. THESE HAZARD BUTTONS WHICH ARE PART OF THE MFS ARE COMMON FOR BOTH S/T AND C/K VEHICLES. THE DAMAGE TO THE HAZARD BUTTON IS MOST COMMON WHEN INSTALLING AN AFTER-MARKET RADIO OR WHEN DOING REPAIRS TO THE I/P.

IF FOR ANY REASON THE I/P TRIM BEZEL NEEDS TO BE REMOVED, THE PROCEDURE FOR INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACEMENT (1995 S/T SERVICE MANUAL, SECTION 8C-6) MUST BE FOLLOWED EXACTLY. THIS INCLUDES REMOVING THE STEERING COLUMN NUTS AND LOWERING THE STEERING COLUMN. IF NOT, THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE TO THE HAZARD BUTTON IS INCREASED.
