  • I had the lights on my dash and tail lights go out on my 1995 Grand Am 3.1 V6. After much investigation, it ended up being that the turn signal switch had gone bad. I got mine at Autozone - $79.99 for one with cruise, $69.99 for one without. SW860 for the non-cruise, SW859 for the cruise version. It is sometimes referred to as a multifunction switch - however, when I called and asked about that, it seemed as though the parts are NOT the same (MFS was much more expensive). Make sure you specify turn signal switch (that also controls the tail lights, headlights, etc). In order to replace it, you need to remove the cover around the steering column - we couldn't get the lower part of the cover off and subsequently also had to pull the steering wheel (which also meant disabling the air bag), then remove the turn signal switch (which also controls the headlights, parking lights, tail lights, etc), pop in a new one, put everything back together (and re-enabling the airbag) and enjoy a life of dash lights and tail lights once again. I've uploaded a pic of the turn signal switch for reference. Although I can't tell that it's going to show up, hmm. Either way, if you type in the part number above on autozone's website, you can see what it looks like.
