RE: 1996 Tahoe Dimmer Switch replacement
 
Your switch mounts on top of the steering column NOT under the steering wheel.
Theres a rod that runs along side of the column to the switch which is on the upper left hand side. I've found it easier on most models to drop the steering column down against the seat to change it. Remove the lower dash cover below the wheel and then the 2 nuts holding the column up. Sometimes its easier to also remove the 4 bolts that hold the U bracket that holds the column up to access the switch.
Drop the column slowly and watch for the shift indicator cable(if yours has one) on the right side. the switch is held in by 2 screws and needs to be adjusted prior to putting the column back up.
