Default Hazard Light Switch Replacement

How dificult is it to replace the switch?
I do know that the dash has to come out to get to it.

What would the dealer charge for this job?

I need to do mine too. But I will not take the car to the dealer.
Someone said you could get to it from behind the radio.

Yup. Actually it is not the switch per se, but rather the flasher for both the turn signal and the hazard lights. There are a couple of How-To's for doing a HUD install and the directions for removing the dashpad are very helpful. Once the dashpad is off, getting to the switch assembly is pretty easy.

JeepTJ: I know of no way to get to this from behind the radio. I explored this myself and no go.

There was a thread posted before where someone changed the flasher without removing the dashpad. Try doing a search.
