"Multi-function switch" usually refers to the turn signal/wiper control module which is located on the steering column at the base of the signal/wiper control lever.
The multifunction switch is the turn signal switch and whatever else is part of it.
Your multi function switch is mounted inside your steering column cover The turn signal lever is part of the multi function switch , as is the hazard flasher switch - these are visible outside of the steering column cover Your turn signal lever / multi function switch operates : - turn signals - high beams - flash to pass - windshield wipers - windshield washer
The multi function switch is inside the steering column , for turn signals etc.
check the third light and brake lights, check the fuses, if all are ok then change the multi- fuction switch aka turn signal switch.
Does your hazard lights only work when you turn the flashers on and the turn signal on at the same time? GM is known for having a multi-purpose switch... this switch controls your lights, turn signals, hazard lights and high beams... sometimes cruise control too... well anywho, sometimes that switch is partially broken... I recommend hooking a multi-meter to the wires that hook the multi-switch up and test all the functions of the switch... but I guarantee if you put a new multi-switch on the car that your hazards lights will function properly... I also recommend buying the part through an after-market company because it is cheaper...
The intermittent wiper switch for your front winshield wipers is located on your turn signal stalk - which is just part of the multi-function switch. When mine started acting up I took it to the dealer and let them change it.
the multi-function turn signal stalk pushes into the dimmer...some parts places list it as the wiper control module or switch, some have it as the actual turn signal switch.
take the upper and lower trim off the steering coloumn and remove the multi function switch and replace.
