Last few years I've seen a lot of 'hand-offs' from one service to another before my shipments arrive. Most cases the delivery dates are accurate but more and more I anticipate errors in projected dates, I guess because the services don't always coordinate well with each other.

I'm glad you did that, I thought it had gotten off far enough to warrant it.

So in another discussion about RA not selling to Arizona one of the alternative recommendations was PartsGeek. Their price is almost a third of the closest competitor, is this really trustworthy? It's aftermarket, not genuine GM. https://www.partsgeek.com/ss/?i=1&ssq=12450067

Looks like a simple task to replace the combo switch, no steering wheel removal necessary. I'm just going to order a replacement unit and be done with it. It's never been replaced since new so it's not hurting my feelings any.

Next chance I get I'll do some further investigation on the switch as it seems plausible with your latest input that it still could be suspect. I looked up the switch and found that it's integrated with the entire turn signal combo switch so it's not just a simple 'switch the switch'. Not sure...

Well, with respect to the ignition switch, the verdict is in--I hope. The photo below shows the switch I just removed on the left, the Dorman version, and on the right is the one I had removed a couple years ago, the GM version. The Dorman shows the gear in position as removed, and the GM shows...

I plan to do the struts tomorrow and then look at the ignition switch. After looking at a lot of posts here and on TV forum it seems possible that I may not have gotten the gear alignment just right. I plan to go ahead and put the former GM switch back in and see how that goes.

Sorry, I can see where I wasn't very clear about what I was referring to. The button on top of the steering column, in front of the IPC. See attached from the owner's manual page 3-6. It says that to activate the flashers push the button down. Then, although it doesn't say so explicitly, the...

Interesting, I'll have to do some investigating on that issue. Something odd I noticed that may or may not be pertinent--I messed around with the flasher switch and discovered that it would not latch, when pushing it just returned to neutral position. I pushed it several times and the flashers...

Until now I was unaware of the gray panel indicating an update so I never made a mental note of it when installing it. Without removal all I can go by is the Amazon supplied photo showing a gray panel with an otherwise black case. A couple months back I was looking through my parts box and...

I did replace the ignition switch in December of '23 but it was from Amazon (Dorman 924-715) so it may be suspect. I don't recall how long this has been going on but at least a couple of years. I changed the switch for a different issue which didn't help at the time--it was a common complaint of...

I said I had no clues but actually I might, I just remembered. Don't know if I should start a new thread but I'll see where this goes first. When the issue came up a few days ago my son told me when he pulled into my driveway late that night he noticed that the 4 way flashers were going off. He...

It's a good point but I feel optimistic it won't be a problem. She is able to close the rear hatch, not without some effort but it's easier for her to put whatever weight she has into pulling it down. Lifting is a much more difficult effort. I think. I'll know when I get there. She's pretty...

Looks pretty foolproof to me so I'll be ordering today.

Just found the same kit on Amazon for $10 less... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L7WJ4ZK/?tag=gmtnation-20
