Has anyone changed a multifunctional switch on a 04 Impala. Is it hard to change and where is the best place to get one.

 

The window control? or dimmer

 

If it is the switch in the steering column that controls the Dimmer, Wipers, Turn Signals & Cruise... I have not. I didn't as I do not really have the time to do it or the place. I do know it consist of removing the airbag & steering wheel. I had mine done at the Chevy Dealer. The GM part for my '03 Impala LS 3.8L ran around $500.00 & ran me another $200.00 to install it. I was lucky I had a 10% off coupon from the dealership. You can get the part from AutoZone for like $300.00. They gave me a multi-page printout of instructions on doing the removal & installation. Ask them if they have a print out they can get you and check it out. If it looks like something you can do and have the time and place to do it... then I would recommend doing it yourself and save yourself a couple hundred bucks on the labor. You will most likely have to rent a couple of tools like a Steering Wheel tool. Make sure you get the right switch for your vehicle. There are, I believe, 2 different ones. Most AutoZones do not stock them so they will have to order it for you which should take about 2-3 days. You might even be able to pick one up for cheaper on eBay. You can, if you have a junk yard near by, see if they have one. Just don't let the airbag blow up in your face. hehe.... just kidding. Just be careful.

 

Hey wanga, I found a switch on eBay.com if this is the switch you were talking about. Not sure if it is the one you need but this was on there at a really great price. Link to it is below.
