How do you remove the hazard switch? Do you have to remove air vents around it? How is that done?

Not 100% sure on this, but I think you need to take the radio out to access it. My hazard light is out too. When I took the radio out to replace my hvac bulbs, I looked at removing the vent, but couldn't figure it out and didn't want to mess with it. Shame that all these bulbs are going out in the car and that access isn't great. I've had my seat heater bulbs die, hazard die and a few hvac bulbs die.

Have you figured this out already?

Any updates on this? The hazard light went out the other day but came back on so I'm guessing the bulb is on its way out.

mine is out too, but i was also wondering how this is taken out. it looks like as if you could just pry it out??

I will remove the stereo when I install an AUX adapter.

kcjohnnyboy

can it be removed without removing the stereo? is there a trick to taking it out?

Euro4gen

If u remove the radio it comes out very easily and there's no need to worry about scratching the air vent area. Otherwise you need one of those panel removal tools and unlock the switch from the bottom.

I replaced my switch with a new one because the old one was scratched (previous owner had long nails? )

kcjohnnyboy

is the clip on the bottom holding it in plastic or medal? to get it free, you can just keep picking at the bottom of the switch until it comes loose eventually?

I'm going to go ahead and bump this thread to post and update. Yes, you do have to remove the radio to replace the bulb on that hazard switch. However, once the radio is off, it's just a matter of reaching behind the switch and pushing it out. I honestly wished I had just changed this bulb with my climate control bulbs This thread will also forever be pinned in the 2G Garage On the plus side, it took my a whopping 20 minutes to remove the radio, change the bulb and have everything re-installed and running... Yay 1000th post!

sorry to bump old thread but is the bulb the same as the hvac bulbs?

The bulb is the same size (T3) but the bulb holder design is slightly different.
