hazard light help please!!!

[MRbam444]

i have a 1999 gmc sierra 2500 6.0 made in 1998 but has the 2000 round body style and newer motor from 2000's

i was adding my AUX and checking on my radio wiring and i forgot to drop my steering wheel down to let the dash cover fit through and i broke off my hazard light switch.

 

i found a blog post i thought would work(havent tried it yet) but wanna make sure. the part she said to get doesnt match up with my truck on autozone or amazon catalog thing.

 

blog post - http://sarahjoaustin.com/2010/01/15/how-to-repair-your-gm-hazard-light-switch/

 

is there anyway i can just buy the switch or do i have to rip my steering colum apart and replace my whole blinker arm?

 

any help would be much appreciated since im 19 and have no money due to my $8 an hour job and my 11 month old son

but i do know my way around automotive mechanics and tools

 

thanks

The link you provided is to a part prior to your year and as you have stated, it does not fit. You are actually looking for the button, which you call a switch. But the button is not a separate piece like the prior years, so the switch and blinker arm are one in the same. The link below is for a part hopefully you can handle within your budget, maybe someone can find a solution more economical than the link. I remember when I was 19.

 

Another option is to check your local junkyards for maybe the "button" piece or the entire switch.
