This switch was purchased to replace a switch in a 2000 Silverado. The part fit and works perfectly. Change out took minutes, with no modifications needed. Highly recommend. I now have a dome light again.

After watching the video to replace my headlight switch for my 2002 GMC Yukon XL, I was very pleased on how easy it was to do the repair. I look forward to repairing other items on my truck and do not missing going to brick and mortar stores where the help can be hit or miss--mostly miss in my area.
Thank you for the videos that explain clearly all the steps required and that encourage amateur mechanics like me to complete the job satisfactorily and with confidence.

Its a great website and very user friendly. Im very satisfied with the part( which shipped free) and the ease in ordering the part knowing it was actually the correct part also. Thanks 1Aauto.

Quick and easy to switch out, the online video tutorial was great! Dimmer switch had gone out and the dash lights wouldn't come on unless the dome lights were on, fixed it in about 10 minutes with this new module. Thank you!
Quick Shipping and great return service

thank you for shipping this part out to me quickly, it was not damaged everything looks great. Unfortunately I had to return the part because I no longer own the truck.
So I had to return this item and the return part was very easy.

The part was exactly what I need to get the dash lights to work properly. Only part I was disappointed in was the fact that the video was only about 1:43 long to replace the part and it took me probably at least three minutes. ;-)

First of all, it worked !!!! ....expensive repair in shop became easily handled in my own garage in about 15 minutes.....(the best part was that the 1A Auto video for this replacement was a virtual step by step of exactly what to do and how to do it.....how many of us are confident to take the shroud surrounding our instrument panel/ steering wheel off to access this easily replaced part?). I couldn't be much happier....and, I can drive at night again with the ability to know that I am driving at the speed limit. Thanks 1A Auto...... I'll be back !!!

I replaced the switch in my Avalanche with this. The part was easy to install and was a good OEM replacement. However, I believe there are other issues with my lights that replacing the switch didn't fix. Overall a good product.
Perfect replacement

Perfect fit and solved my problem exactly as advertised. No issues so far with installation or fit or finish or functionality. My only issue is that this is a pretty inexpensive part and it definitely feels like it. The original has a nice solid feel to it and kind of slots into its positions with a satisfying feel. The replacement is kind of mushy and does not slot into position. But the part is not expensive so I cannot expect it to have the same feel as OEM.
Very good

Yes Tom but there are others , what exactly are you looking for ? What vehicle are you working on and what is your problem ? I thought my switch had gone bad ( lost lights ) and as it turns out my turn signal switch had burnt out and I didn't have lights or left turn signal or cruise control , You're in the right place you just have to narrow the problem down.

The 2002 GMC Yukon XL 1500 SLT Vin T is equipped with an auto-headlight switch. The OEM assembly overrides the headlight when the "dome override" switch is pushed 3-4 times within 5 seconds. Will this assembly perform the same override?February 11, 2022
Ian M

This should work that way. The dome override is pushed 3-4 times and that does override the headlights.
