How do you fix the multifunction switch for a 2000 Chevy Impala?

Answer 1

You replace it. These multi function switches are notorious for wearing out prematurely. Dealership price is $548. Napa quoted me $429 but I pleaded with him for a more affordable price and he said he would do $339.95. Ultimately I went with an online part supplier rockauto. Com and I paid $135 plus $9 shipping. It looks just like oem and works just fine. The install itself requires the removal of the steering column cover. Don't be scared, it's far easier than it looks and sounds. You'll need a torxs bit set to remove this plastic scroud. Once you are in there you only need to unscrew the switch, unplug its connectors and feed the wiring harnes out of the column. Then reverse the procedure to put the new one in. Feeding the wiring harness back in will be the biggest pain in the butt. Everything else is a cake walk. Good luck my friend!
