Title: Dismantling dash fascia
Post by: TAYZ on April 08, 2007, 05:25:53 AM
In between night shifts i decided to pull out my dash fascia as i am putting in a chrome one.  I got it all out apart from the light switch.  How do i get the light switch out wothout breaking anything?  There does not seem to be a screw or anything holding the system to the rear of the fascia.  Sometimes I think i should leave stuff to my mechanic...... :P

hi Tayz

To get the light switch out you must depress the little dimple on the rear casing of the switch, then pull out the knob with the shaft ( as though you were turning on the headlights).  Then use a wide flat screwdriver to unscrew the slot on the fascia/dash. The switch will then be removable from the back of the dash.

have fun.   ;D ;D

Hey Tayz
            The retaining plunger is on the top of the switch block behind the dash facia. pull the switch to the full on position ,depress the plunger ,  then pull the knob out , undo the slotted retainer ,disconnect wires and you should have it.
