and the switch is about $25.00 at Auto Zone, Or about $17.XX at Advance Auto, with a -20% code.
There was an NOS switch on E pay, for about $15.00 shipped, But That might be one of the ones they had problems with.
For the record, I replaced the Hazard switch,about 6 years ago, with the one Auto Zone sells, and it's been working well all along.
I would use that onne this time, but I broke the button off,(and can't find the piece) trying to fish the switch out with a wire.
and I wonder what the center vent would have cost me at the dealer.
Plenty I bet.
So for $10.00, I couldn't go wrong.

Question, to repair the crack in the bracket, do you guys think super glue, or JB weld is stronger?
I plan on about 10 wraps of electrical tape around the bracket after that.
I figure that will absorb some of the vibration that helps the bracket crack.
Don't know why someone like Dorman didn't jump on that and make an aftermarket bracket for the Alero, They would have sold many.

I found that the easiest way to get at the hazard switch is to pull the bezel around the gauge cluster, then you can reach right in.

2 part epoxy would probably work best.
