Definitely the switch Tom....but I hear ya on the cams...they've gotta be new. The way they're designed...even the new ones can break pretty easily. The last time I found 'em...I bought 3 extra for just that reason (sent one to "little car" ; ) )...so now I got some spares. Anyway....the switch is shot and I what I'm hearing is "don't go NOS or Used". Sooooo.....I guess we'll have to wait for Blazer unless someone's got another source for these.
