Im having Issues after replacing my turn signal switch . the turn signals only work while the hazard light butten is pressed and my hazards dont work at all . I feel like it might be a ground issue ? any wiring Gurus on here that might have some wisdom?

Hmm.. well if you replaced it.. did it come with a complete pre-wired connector (long white one that is attached to the steering column)? if you had to pin the connector yourself, then check your connector wires. My electro book is at a job site.. maybe someone will be good enough to post a diagram.

Was it working fine before? I changed mine on late GMT-400 last year and recall just having 2 long connectors. On the late models it is a pain to change; I had drop the steering column...

Maybe you got a faulty unit? I remembered I checked my new one to make sure everything worked before assembling everything back together. In my case I had brake lights that weren't working and the multi-function switch fixed it.

Good to know! Always want to check the fuses with electrical problems. But it IS possible to get a defective switch; that's why I had to replace it 3 times on my dodge. At least it was MUCH easier to do than on our trucks.
