Help with blinker unit on C5

I am 99% sure that the blinker unit in my C5 is toast. I belive it sits
behind, or is part of the hazard light switch next to the center vent. My
question is, how hard is it to replace that unit ? Do I have to pull the
whole dash, or is there a secret to getting in there ? Is it just a relay or
the whole hazard unit ?

Thanks for any input,

You pretty much got it figured right, remove the console top and then the
dash pad and the bracket that holds the Hazard switch to the dash pad,
replace the switch/blinker and reverse the procedure to reassemble. I can
give you some numbers or a PDF sheet if you think you need it. Time is about
6 hours if you don't break anything.

Thanks for the input. I thought somebody had posted a method where you could
get at it by removing just the vent, and not the whole dash. If it's 6
hours, then the dealer can do it, they quoted about $130

If you want to get into it further I can send you a copy of the R&R sheet,
good luck.

That would be 2 to 3 hours then, for them.
