Default Broken Hazard Button

Don't ask how, but I somehow hulked my Hazard button and it pushed all the way in. Any easy way to take one panel of the dash apart instead of the whole thing for a quick fix?

I have an 04, so the hazard button is located in the middle portion of the dash, between my gauges and the top A/C vents above the radio.

i got a 05 and i honestly don't think there is a way to fix it without taking all the screws off and pulling it, but you might not need to take it fully off (from around the steering wheel). after you pull the dash from the frame you should be able to reach behind it and fix or glue the button.

just remove your dash, its held on kind of cheaply, get some epoxy and just glue it on, its happened to most of us, the epoxy bond will probably be stronger than the original plastic was

The panel comes off easily once you remove the valence under the steering wheel. Use some black RTV sealer on it to hold it back in place. That won't damage the plastic.

Mine broke also.

Thanks for all of your help everyone. ...And yes this mysteriously happened a week after my new amp was installed, seems like a quick fix for this weekend, I'll give it a try.
