INFORMATION

Subject:
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 of the hazard button is increased.
