Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Can anyone tell me how to remove a "blank" switch face so that I can install an actual switch... I'm doing the garage door DIY and I can't get the darm switch blank face out of the ashtray assembly. Thanks, Mark

POST 2Original post

it is just pressure fitted with a small locking lip. Squeeze the sides or stuff a thin screw driver down the side to pop it out.

POST 3Original post

In addition, depending where you are going to install the switch, like in the horseshoe, you would take the horseshoe off first (easy) and as Cpa4S above says just squeeze the sides or pry with a thin screwdriver to pop out. If you are going to put the switch in the console, take out the ashtray by removing the two placement torx screws to access the underside of the and pop it off it the same manner as above. Good luck...

POST 5Original post

Just like nipples. Put your thumb on one side and your forefinger on the other side and squeeze... HARD!
