Auto Parts: 96 suburban brake/4-way flasher switch, right turn signals, warning triangle


Question
I have a 96 suburban 1500 non diesel 4-wheel drive.

The left and right turn signals work but the brake/4-way flashers (hazard lights) do not work. I am unable to locate the brake/4-way flasher switch. Are you able to tell me exactly where this switch is located?

Your help is much appreciated.

Answer
Hi Milenaam,

Are you sure you're looking for the switch?

The brake switch is mounted to the brake-stop-bar under the dash and above the brake pedal and the hazard switch should be located on the column. It'll be red with a 'warning' triangle pictured on it.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
