How do you change the turn signal switch on a 96 Chevy cavalier?

I am reasonably sure that the 2000Cav is the same design as mine (96').
You can replace the dimmer/cruise control switch without removing the steering wheel. (which is how every how-to book that I have seen will tell you to do it).
This takes a bit of time - be patient. But it's better than going through the trouble of removing the steering wheel, and perhaps damaging the air bag.
* Remove the upper and lower clam shell covers on the steering column (ONLY the upper section will remove completely - the lower will only be loose after removing the three screws holding it in place)
* Remove the top star drive screw in the dimmer unit (there is only one up top, and one on the bottom of this unit.)
* using the star driver bit (ONLY a bit) and a long 1/4 open end wrench, gently pull the bottom clam shell downward to where you can get the star drive bit into the head of the screw.
(*** YOU MUST TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO WHERE IT'S MOST NARROW SIDE EVEN WITH THE SCREW SO THAT YOU HAVE ROOM TO WORK ***)
Using the bit and 1/4 wrench, start the removal of the screw. I used a small spatula to hold the bits rear while turning it with the 1/4 wrench.
* Unclip the wiring harnesses (three points) from the unit - remove it.
* Using super glue or any fast / tough cement... secure the bit head to the bottom screw. This will make the reassembly much easier.
* Attach the harnesses to the new unit and test the new unit.
* position on the column
* Reinsert the top screw (do not tighten completely)
* Using the cured (glued) lower screw and bit, reinsert the screw into the hole and use the 1/4 wrench to slowly tighten it back down.
* Reassemble the clam shells and take it for a drive!
