1997 GMC Suburban Door Panel & Brake Switch
cover
drivers inside door handle and it's ability to open the door (drivers
window must be rolled down and door opened with the exterior handle).
Autozone doesn't show instructions for a '97. Rather, if you choose a
'97 model, you get directions for a circa 1990 instead. Anyone know
of another good site that might show the step-by-step for getting that
door panel off so I can inspect the linkage without tearing up the
door panel?
Also have an issue with the brake switch on this rig. Brake lights
work but especially when it's hot outside, you can't get the vehicle
out of park once the engines running, the cruise control also doesn't
work and seems related, etc so I'm looking to replace the brake switch
also.
thanks for any help,
Chris

Your door handle problem is the handle itself. It is broken. I had
to replace 2 on my 99. The assembly is about $30 available at the
dealer. You just start taking screws out of the handle area, and pop
the upholstery panels off the door. You will have to virtually take
the door apart to get to the place where you can replace the handle.
You might consider replacing the light bulbs in the power window and
door lock buttons while you are in there.

It's a safety device that requires foot on brake before shift in gear.
It's the cheapest possible switch known but costs a few dollars more.
Look for the one on the brake arm stop that has vacuum lines going to
it.

In which 1997 Suburban?

So it costs a few dollars more than the cheapest possible switch?

...in your non-1997 Suburban.

Nice comeback. Seeing as I don't I pay too much attention to
riceriders feel free to fuck off.

Touche. What a burn, especially since I don't "ride rice" by your
figurative and retarded definition. I guess you *do* pay attention to
american trucks based on your ignorant bullshit reply to the OP. Go
back to eastern europe, peterless.

Is this brake switch located above the steering column? I have a
Haynes manual that shows a picture of the switch setting on a bench
and that's it. Took a look under the dash in the region I would have
expected the switch (having changed them on other vehicles in the past
albeit years ago), and nada... Didn't see anything that matched the
pic.

bracket. I may have an older year in mind on this setup and the
switch may now be electric with a solenoid on the shifter.

Try looking on the rod that goes from the brake pedal through the
firewall to the brake booster.
