Hi,

New to the forum here. Trying to save myself some $$ by fixing my blinker problem myself. Dealership said that I need to replace the flasher switch unit and sold me one. Can't seem to figure out how to remove the original. Any suggestions?

I've installed a number of stereos in previous cars I've owned so I'm not exactly a stranger to working on dash boards. I'm just not eager to rip this one apart if I don't need to.

I saw Karstipassat's request for similar information earlier this year but notice no one responded.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Linn

I pops out with a little pressure. I carefully use a small screwdriver.

Really? I tried that but it felt like I was going to break it or worse the trim around it.

Thanks,
Linn

Ok, you were right. Went back out and tried again. Had to remove the lens first but then I could get a grip on it with my screwdriver and it popped out. After that it was easy to put the new one on.

Thanks again,
Linn
