Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.

In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the hazard switch on this 2003 Chevy Monte Carlo, and the items you'll need includes a new hazard switch from 1AAuto.com, a 7mm socket, a ratchet, a T25 Torx bit, a flat blade screwdriver, and an E-5 External Torx bit.

Underneath your steering wheel, you'll see this panel. You want to just push in these two tabs and pull it down. Then twist the socket free and pull the bulb out. Then you want to remove these two 7mm screws. Pull out your fuse panel door, especially make sure that the lower clip comes out. Then pull straight back on the lower panel on both sides. Then use a small flat blade screwdriver to help you release the clip on the harness to remove the harness.

Inside here is a T25 screw, just go ahead and remove that. Then pry out on this lever and it just pulls free, and then you can pull the panel straight down, unhook it, and pull it forward. Next, you want to remove these two E5 external Torx bolts. There's one right here and then one right here on the other side. We'll just fast-forward as Mike removes those. Once those are removed, you can pull this upper panel up and off. Now pull this panel off the rest of the way and remove this 7mm bolt right here. Pull down your glove box, and then remove this 7mm bolt right up here. Pry off this bezel. Then pull out on either side of the dash panel. You just want to feel for the clips back behind it and pull out. Once you get it free, just pull it forward.

Use a flat blade screwdriver to disconnect the hazard switch and be careful while doing this because you can break the bezel fairly easily. Now put your keys in the ignition, turn it to the on position, pull your shifter back all the way, and then lift your dash panel up and out. There's a tab on top of the switch that holds it in, but make sure your supporting the switch from the bottom, because you can easily break the bezel or the dash part of the bezel, but pry and push on that tab until you get it to release and the switch comes out.

And your new switch goes right in the other way. Press it in and then install the button.

To reinstall the dash panel, open up your glove box, turn the key to the on position, and pull the shifter all the way back. Pull your steering wheel down, and then tuck the dash panel back behind the steering wheel. Now reconnect your harness, and then you can slide your shifter forward and remove the key, and then push the dash panel back in the rest of the way. Then just push in the clips all the way around it. We'll fast-forward as Mike replaces those two 7mm bolts and tightens them up.

Just push this bezel back into place. Tilt the steering wheel back down and then feed this upper panel back into place and push it back down. Replace those two E5 inverted Torx bolts. Now, feed in the lower panel. You want to push the back back behind and re-clip those two hooks. Then swing up the front, push it into place, and then just replace that T25 Torx screw.

Reconnect the harness to your trunk switch. Then push this panel back up into place. Then replace those two 7mm bolts underneath the panel. Push the bulb back into the socket and twist it back into this panel. Then feed the panel back. Then push it back up into place.
