Removal of the push button on the hazard-safety switch
On my 2002 C5 Corvette, I need to know how to remove the push button from the hazard-safety switch located to the right of the center A/C vent. I was told this part is no longer serviced by GM and I do not want to damage it. I was told it has two tabs, but I don't know where they are located on the push button. Can any anyone help?

Remove the dash. Remove the vent assembly from the dash. Remove the hazard switch from the vent assembly.
Good luck.
There very well may be a way to remove the push button part without removing the dash, but I don't know.

switch
If You pull the speedometer out you can get your hand on the switch. The switch goes in the side of the a/c vent housing from the back & that's where the clips are.

I am going to replace the hazard switch and need to remove the switch cover or pushbutton cover, before removing the switch. I am in the process of removing the radio and have found I am unable to located the locking tabs on the radio plugs, as well. Although I am able to see the plugs, I do not see the locking tabs on the plugs. I seriously need help!

There is one thread on the "Sticky Notes" at the top of this forum, plus
here is another
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-t...l-problem.html
You can use the "search" feature in the forum, as well as using google or yahoo search. I find more threads using search engines than i do using the forum search. In this forum, click on "search this forum" and then type "hazard locking tabs" AND ENTER. You will find many threads on hazard switch replacement.
I've read several threads in the last 6 mo. about the locking tabs.
Do you have an extended warranty ?
