It's not that hard to do....Remove the seat and disconnect the neg side of the battery. Put a towel down where the seat used to be. Then on the console, remove the ugly screw and washer and the little nut below the speedometer.
Once those are off, the whole console will lift up and lay it backwards on the towel. Now you will see the backside of the ignition switch. Unplug the 3 prong connector, and remove the 4 screws that hold the switch in.
There you go......replace and reverse the order to put it back. I cleaned mine up in there after 11 years of road grime build up.

How do you replace the hazard switch
Yes, the 2001 ignition switch for a 2000 Chevrolet Tracker will fit just fine. Other years the switch fits are 1999 to 2004.
The ignition switch is in the dash to the right of the steering column. You will have to get access to the switch and it is probably best to use the service manual to get all of the correct steps in this process. Note that the switch and the key portion are two separate items. You will be able to replace the switch and reuse the key lock portion on the new switch. This isn't an easy task and could take a half day or more to complete.
I recenlty got a recall on my ignition switch in my 2000 sunfire and I just took it to the dealer and they did it for free.
