Default Need help kinda quick

...please.

1996 Z71...when I was taking the dash panel out to get to the radio, it came out kinda tough and when it went across the top of the steering column it busted off the hazard switch...so my hazards are now on non stop. I found the relay and pulled it...great...or so I thought.

Now everytime I step on the brake with that relay pulled my amber driving lights in the front come on.

Not sure what to do...I need to get this resolved...it's my daily driver...help!

update - turns out I pulled the turn signal flasher...not the hazard flasher. I can't find the hazard flasher...haynes manual says it's behind the main light switch. I looked and can't find it. Any suggestions?

If you broke the hazard botton it will need to be replaced. Unfortunately the only way to do it is to get a whole new unit (turn signal, cruise, wiper blade, that whole thing). It is not that bad, 2hrs to replace. I had to replace my becuase my hazard button will not come un-clicked to make them come on (the opposite problem you have). I bought a cheap unit off Ebay and switched out just the hazard buttons since the rest of the "new" unit was basically a piece of junk, but I now have a working hazard lights. The buttons are not that hard to switch out, its just getting the new button thats the problem.

The local dealer had it in stock for around $15...got home and put it in within 5 minutes...worked perfectly.
