In this video i show the steps and procedures necessary to replace the multi-function switch/ turn signal switch in a gm truck. these step will work for an Chevy silverado, Tahoe, suburban, gmc sierra, Yukon, Denali, as well as come hummers and Oldsmobile vehicles. the vehicle in this video is a 2004 Chevy Tahoe with cruise control. when ever the right turn signal is activated, the high beams on the vehicle would come on, obliviously causing a issue for oncoming traffic. i have seen these switches fail before, now allowing the turn signals, brake lights and high beams to work correctly. below is a list of parts i used in this video, i hope this video helps you out. if it has please like and subscribe. thanks for watching.

at 7:11 when he starts using the T25 and an wrench, I found an easier way. Crank the wheel full left and you can use a regular T25 screwdriver as the steering wheel cover flattens out on the top for access. Much easier, especially on re-assembly
Guess I should've done that before I pulled the battery.... lol
Thanks for the video just saved myself $50 from not having to take the truck to the mechanic and to anyone reading these comments who plans to do this his trick with the wrench works but I used a T25 Allen key which made life very easy
Awesome! Thank you!
The video mentioned about the small spring-loaded electrical contact pin on the turning signal switch. The spring went bad on my vehicle and the horn stopped working. A new turning signal switch with a properly working contact pin fixed the problem.... Good video, right to the point with clear instructions. Thank you
Well done! Nice to see things explained well without a lot of unnecessary commentary!
Good video, what I understand from another video, the steering wheel can be turned to the 3 o’clock position (straight ahead being 12 o’clock) and then the bottom screw can be removed with a regular torx driver instead of a bit and a 1/4” wrench.
Dude your trick with the 1/4” wrench and the torx bit was the best. Watched a different video at first and when he got down to the switch he said “just remove the two screws and the switch pulls off. It’s easy as that”. Glad I was able to find your video. I definitely subscribed. Thanks!
Im back today, couldnt remember the size on the screws. I saw the same video you mentioned. Not helpful.
THANK YOU! Holy smokes I've been dealing with this issue for months and was hoping my dad would help me since he was a mechanic (Retired due to medical issues). But now I can fix this myself!
Same
Saved me some cash with this vid man! Thanks a bunch! I was going to take it to my mechanic but after seeing your vid I did it myself on my 08 Impala. Worked like a charm and I stopped flashing people with my brights and getting dirty looks every time I took a right turn.
From the Rock Auto page on this switch.
"Switch malfunctions can cause a variety of safety issues, including non-functioning brake lights, headlights, tail lights, turn signals, hazard lights or wipers. Because of its role, switch quality is vital.
Each WVE switch is engineered to meet or exceed OE performance specifications and manufactured from the OEM preferred blend of nylon- and glass-filled plastic for exceptional strength, and includes premium copper-, nickel- or silver-plated electrical terminals to ensure robust electrical connectivity. WVE offers extensive selections of exact-fit/exact-function switches for foreign nameplate or domestic models.
Designed using semi-precious metal contacts
Each switch subjected to rigorous testing processes
Complies with all federal motor vehicle safety standards
Mounting and connectors identical to OE"
Thanks for the video! I just bought at ‘06 GMC Sierra and drove it at night for the first time. Turned right, high beams came on. I laughed because I knew this was a problem with these year models.
WOW I'm impressed how simple and easy you made that be. I've seen a lot of videos and this is one of the best I've come across, not only with the step by step but you also show us the tools we will need and give us the links to get replacements for some of us that tend to break stuff 🤔🤔👀👀😁😁
Thanks again!! It helped tremendously!💪🎉🎉🎉💪
glad to hear helen! thank you for the kind words!
@@AaronHinesAuto of course
I just bought a used pickup and this video finally explained why my high beams were turning on. Thanks this was helpful
This video helped me a lot. Thanks. I have one turn signal not working correctly. After confirming the bulbs were good I was sure it was the flasher but after watching this video I'm convinced its the turn signal switch.
Same here, right turn signal doesn't seem to want to work 90% of the time. Gonna swap mine out this weekend!
Did it work I’m at the same spot with my 2005 2500 Chevy?
Alright man just replaced mine finally had the part just super busy with other work on the truck and I also appreciate the link to the new plastic cause mine did break a little bit it's 15 years old so it's all good but awesome process all the way through thank you again
Replaced my turn signal switch today. The front torx screw you have to be very careful with it so not to strip it while turning the torx bit with a wrench. I put a flat head screwdriver against the bit to keep it pushed into the screw while breaking it loose with my 1/4th inch wrench. I bought a 1/4" ratcheting box wrench to make the removal easier.
Good video: I change mine out because when running my cruise control. It would shut off if I change lanes with my signal light on. Hit my signal any at all would shut my cruise off. This change out did fix it.
This is awesome 👏- thank you! My 2007 97x just started to display the same symptoms. I was hoping it maybe just dirty contacts but it’s better to just replace the switch.
Dealing with this problem on my 2006 Trailblazer, going to change it soon. Appreciate you in advance!
I was ok with the high beams coming on, I would just simply hold right turn signal slightly as to not cause the high beams to come on. My cruise control just went out as well, time to replace. I gotta have my cruise control. Great video, I appreciate it.
It gets annoying after while because then you have to hold it so they don’t come on randomly at night
Same thing my 04 Tahoe, I was delaying the replacement of my multifunction switch, because I heard the steering wheel had to come off. Now i can go ahead and tackle this project..
My 2004 Suburban just started doing this. Super helpful video, thank you so much my friend.
Awesome! Thanks for the support!
Hey How Much Those The Sinal Hand Cost...Cuz My 2003 Avalanche Its Turning My High Lights On When A Turn My Sinal On
Out of the 5 videos yours was the best to do. Thank ypu.
Thanks sir, I have the same problem. I was skeptical of doing it, but you made it so simple. Thanks again and God bless
The best video ever thank you the hardest part was snapping on the two cover parts around the steering wheel
Thanks! I had the high beam issue. 2008 burb. Loved the no steering wheel removal trick.
thank you for taking the time to post this extreemly helpful instructional video. I am recieveing my new part tomorrow and this will be a huge help in its replacement!!
You probably dont care but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly lost my login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Zion Remy Instablaster =)
@Joshua Idris Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Joshua Idris it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much, you really help me out :D
@Zion Remy no problem =)
Thanks very much. I have a 2005 Tahoe with this exact issue. Nice to see 190k+ on this one I have 180K+ miles and considering a newer vehicle but the Tahoe still runs great.
they are great vehicles, and repair parts are easy to find
Thanks for this vid. My 2003 Silverado 2500HD did same thing. Brights go on when using turn signal. Similarly, I changed out the lever and problem solved. I also mention that there were no bolts in the steering wheel shroud. I'm original owner. Came from factory without those bolts. The bolts aren't needed.
Very strange!
I have an 02' Blazer ZR2 and the flashers or turn signal works, cruise control works, but the wipers have a mind of their own.
I can turn the wipers on & back off, then sometimes they stop, but mostly they keep wiping for about 12 more wipes before stopping.
Bro great video thanks for the help. I laughed out loud though when you said "put stearing wheel in lowest position" then raised it all the way up and tried to get it off. Clean edit though to when wheel is lowest.
Great video! You saved me a ton of money. I had a guy at a shop replace this for me some years ago, the shop charged me $500. $300 was for just the part... I stopped going to those crooks. Thanks for doing these types of videos!
I need to replace mine. I thought $170 for the part was steep.
Quick,simple and easy explanation. Definitely dumbed it down for me great video!
Looks like a pretty simple fix. I have to replace mine on a 2004 Tahoe. The mechanic wants 350 bucks plus parts to do this job.
Same issue as me on my 03 trailblazer! Crazy! thanks for the video it is very helpful to see what I'm getting myself into! 🥂
Same problem with my 2006 GMC Yukon. Thanks for explaining everything and saving me work. Good job bro.
thank you for the info. the mechanic wanted 85.00 to do the job. my son and i did it in 30min. and at no cost.
I’m glad to hear! I bet that’s a good feeling
Nice vid! Exact same problem....cant wait to fix it so people dont think im flashing
Just finished replacing this switch assembly on my 2005 Silverado. This video was to the point and a great help. Thanks!
Thank you for this great tutorial, fixed my Hi beam on right turn issue.
Thanks for video and link to buy a switch with cruise control $88.78 which was half the price of one they sale at auto zone, and then I saw one for $49.88 so I bought it. I installed it and it failed, right signal would at times not work, so now I ordered the $88.00 one as suggested in the link above. The bottom cover bezel is not held together by any kind of screws, I know this because I'm the original owner of my 2004 Silverado, and this problem started a few years ago, it now has 282k
Thank you so much Aaron - My cruise stopped working but both of my turn signals work. So when it is time to change it for a new one than I will be able to replace it myself!!! I already changed out the fuse for cruise so in halfway there. Thank Again! Smiles ~ Debra 082820
Same problem!! Almost got shot because I brighted a crazy person when turning right. I removed my high beam fuse for now. Now it goes to bright and the lights turn off!! Hope to take this apart tomorrow. Thanks!
Excellent how-to video! I have been dealing with this issue for a long time.
FYI if you don't have cruise control just replace the stalk with a cruise control one and shazam, you now have cruise. The pigtail that he mentions is for the cruise, the connector is just sitting there waiting for a mate :-). I have a WT model so no options and cruise was the one I missed the most.
yo thank you my 06 envoy started doing this and i been looking for a way to fix this you are a lite saver
This Video definitely helped out thank you. This is what my truck is doing thank you for the educational video and straight to the point. Thank you
Thank you. I don't have the high beam problem but I hear a grinding noise when I use my right turn signal and it'll cut off. I have an '03 Yukon. Wish me luck 🤞🏼
Explained perfectly,I finished in 20 min
Thank you for this. I need to replace mine also. Got the same problem with the high beam
Going to be replacing one on my 05 Denali this weekend, Great video bud Thank you.
Used T25 with quarter inch socket with extension and got that bolt out by turning steering wheel using the bottom of wheel could reach it little angle but it works try it saves time GOD BLESS 🙏
Good vid bro you explain well and show everything good for ppl that might be hard to do a job like this. It helped me out a lot thanks
You explain that perfectly
Much appreciated! You made it simple and straight forward. 🙂👍
I'm looking for the same replacement in a chevrolet astro. thanks for the video it will help for sure
Worked perfect on my 2007 Silverado Classic 1500.
I HAVE A 03 GM 2500HD. It pulls a landscaping trailer, sometimes when I turn the right turn signal on the flashers come on? NOT all the time. Thank you Chris Jones
Awesome video. But I came here to see how to jerk the lever out. Thanks, I may have to replace the switch later on.
thank you for this video have the exact same problem
This video was very helpful. I know it saved me at least $200 in labor. Plus, I was able to buy the part at a competitive price rather than paying the repair shop markup. I just finished this 'half-hour' job. It took me three days. The 'little pigtail' at 6:37 was a FREAKIN' NIGHTMARE! Getting it apart was easy. Putting it back together was near impossible. No room to get my hands or fingers in there. The whole job was a frustration of alignment when putting things back together. I think it would have been easier if I had removed the steering wheel, but I didn't want to mess with it. If I ever have to replace this stalk again, I will gladly pay someone to do it.
My truck Is having same exact issues everytime I turn right single it turn high beam on now I'm gonna order a new switch thanks
You're awesome bro. I feel I can do this now without a problem. Thanks
Yes my trail blazer would while starting the truck make my washer fluid and wipers come on thanks 😊.
Again thanks for the video. Very clear and I like not having to pull the steering wheel.
Thank you. A well made and clear to understand video.
Tks aaron hines money saver i just did mine on a 2007 gmc sierra
Tnx saved me a lot of work, great job explaining and showing the process and causes.
Great video. Thank you. Worked exactly as you described!
Mine was also missing the two bottom bolts holding the bottom cover on. Does anybody know what bolts they were?
Right on. Good tips on here. I will be doing that
just a quick correction, the turn signal module is not the same after 2003, only 2000 to 2002 share this same module (tahoes only)
Same problem with mine. Great step by step video. Thanks.
Thanks a lot this video might’ve saved me some money 😅
Nice video. Helped me tremendously. However I still have a problem you might have an idea about. I've searched all the realms and nobody has had the same issue. I replaced my multi function switch and fixed my high beam coming on when using the right turn signal. Very common issue. But right before I replaced the switch I had another issue I thought was related to the switch... Every right turn signal bulb is lit and stuck on. Even when the key is off. Not blinking but constantly lit. Pulled fuse for rt signal and still getting 12v to every socket. Including the tow mirror led arrow. Even with all the bulbs out it's still lit up. Even on the dash. And keep getting "turn signal on" message. 2003 Yukon XL 1500
my bright lights just started coming on with right blinker on!!
Thank you simple straight forward video
Quick tip. If you use the tip and the wrench put some tap on it to prevent the tip from going back. You won’t have to hold the tip with your finger and it will make it a lot easier and faster.
Got R done! Thanks for the video!
Have been having an issues with my right turn signal, left signals works fine but right does not blink hope this will fix the issue.
Great job my friend .!!! I have the same problem on my 04 Silverado
Thanks for the added knowledge My man
Thanks. Finally got that fixed with your help.
The Wrench and Torx bit is not necessary. There is a mark in the center of the horn plate. Turn the steering left till that mark lines up with screw. Then you can use normal torx. Your saving 10-15 not taking off the steering wheel. This will take seconds with cordless impact.
Screws underneath should be reverse torx. That’s why so many break them.
Same problem I'm having thank you so much.
I replaced it and now my truck won’t start any help?
Thanks for the video having the same issue this will be an easy fix
VERY HELPFULL FOR THE DO IT YOUSELF KIND OF GUY 👍✊❤️ THANK YOU
So all those cars(tahoe, hummer and suburban etc) use the same part?
The issue I’m having is I just put spider headlights on with the tube protectors on and with the turn signals off while driving the truck says on the cluster turn signal on which I don’t understand when it says that the signals aren’t on and to make the warning go away you have to turn the signal on and off
So I had the same exact issue when I replaced the signal switch everything worked except the cruise control everything functioned before except like what you were saying the high beams came on on the right hand signal so when I replaced everything worked perfectly okay except for the cruise control now what's the issue on that
I have an 05 Colorado and the cruise control hasn't worked in years. Would replacing this turn signal fix that? I have that exact same turn signal as in the video. I haven't found a fuse for the cruise control so I imagine it would be a replacement issue.
Thank you for making this video, i have the same problem
I'm having a problem with my turn signals not coming on at all can my turn signal switch cause that
Is this similar to the switch on a 2007 Impala?
I have a problem where the high beams keep coming on just from hitting a bump or when I use the turn switch. The high beams usually are pull back to flash, or push forward to keep them on. Unfortunately they keep coming on and annoying other drives who think I'm doing that on purpose.
I don't know if cleaning a contact is possible to fix the problem without replacing the entire switch?
Is there any fix to this problem without having to fork up $178 plus tax at Autozone for a brand new switch? Is there a broken wire, worn out contact point or bad connection inside the switch? Just trying to save some money right now with this damn COVID-19 putting the hurts to my wallet.
Thanks very helpful I was able to do this myself.
Great video! Nicely done and spot on information. 🙏
Mine was doing the same thing. Then after a year my left turn would do the hazards. So right side had my brights and left hazards.
How did you get that fixed cause mine turn into hazards when I hit the switch to the right trying to get my brake lights working
Go to 1aauto.com and you'll have to buy a new turn signal switch. It was a pain to switch out so if you're not handy I won't recommend having someone do it for you.
Have a problem with my 2000 chevy Silverado 1500 kinda like that but the blinker noise stays on all the time until I add breaking then itll stop definitely going to buy a blinker switch
Just as a suggestion would it be a good idea to unhook the battery before starting the removal procedure just in case ??
Could the multifunction switch cause the low beams only to fail? Chasing a solution. Everything else checks out.
hope this helps me, my 01 tahoe's hazards never want to turn off once i turn them on!
It will is a one pc switch so you are replacing with a new one
Craigslist510 you can order just the hazard for around $7 (you need to take out torques screws on the left) but I advise to just change the entire switch.
