How do I remove and replace the flasher which is located in the dashboard in the hazzard switch? What steps do I take to remove the hazzard flasher so that I can replace it? My turn signals only work ocassionally and I was told I have to replace the hazzard switch, which is located in the dashboard. How do I remove the hazzard switch>

You need to take off the trim piece that goes across the entire dash. There are spring clips on the passanger side and a few screws around the IP panel you need to take out. the dimmer switch & hazzard switch both have clips on the back that need to be lifted before it will push thru (or just disconnect the electrical connector. the ac vents will stay attached to the trim piece. don't pull it too far forward theres not much play in the wiring harness.
