I have a 96 Chevy Blazer. My brake lights are doa, the top strip is working but the brake lights itself are not. I changed everything that has to do with the brake lights and still nothing. I went online and also saw other people with the same problem and frustration. I called the dealership and there was a recall on that part but for a 2001. They also estimated that the switch and the labor would cost $700!!!! I went online and found the part itself for $369. I have not yet fixed the problem. This a problem to many Chevy lovers and Chevy should be liable to fix it cause it was an engineering problem.

Complaint regarding faulty multi-function switch in 1996 Chevrolet Blazer that caught on fire. The multi-function switch in the consumer's vehicle caught fire and was replaced with a 2000 switch, however the switch failed the same way it was described in recall #01V364000, Chevrolet admitted they installed a faulty 2000 switch in the consumer's vehicle, but the recall was by car model year and not the recall switch year

Wires leading to light shorted out (cracked inside jacket). As a result light stopped functioning. Light assembly with attached wire harness was replaced. I suspect that the flexing of the wires each time the rear window was open/closed was the cause of the wire failure.
