Default wow...a bit overpriced?

so....I'm getting too fustrated over the hazard/turn signal switch not working properly. Checked at work(autozone) & we sell it for $60. Almost had a heart attack!

Just gone onto rockauto & the acdelco part is $20. wowwwww thats good.

Speaking of... can anyone give advice or show how to install a new switch? & is the button easily removable?

I have never taken the hazard switch out of my Monte, but I've had that dash piece off more then once. Getting the dash apart is a piece of cake.

Here's what the shop manual has for removing the hazard switch once you have the dash panel off:


10. Disconnect the electrical connector from the hazard warning switch.
11. Remove the hazard warning switch from the I/P cluster trim plate.
