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 any one tell me how to remove the headlight switch assembly from the Drivers side vent. I got the switch out but the assembly behind it won't detach from vent. Any suggestions?

POST 2Original post

If you have got the switch out, you will see a metal disc behind this. This will unscrew-I used a pair of pointed nose pliers. The assembly will then twist round to loosen off the plastic underneath. You will see what I mean when you have taken off the metal hexagonal disc. Be careful of the plastic piece-it has some electric bits stuck onto it for control of the lighting. Easy to break off if you are not careful! Good Luck

POST 3Original post

after the front **** is off, take off the nut, then the black plastic cup will come out. Then use needle nose pliers and twist the silver metal long tabs a little untill they line up with the open slot. then that metal part will stay back, and you can pull the vent plastic forward. Then red switch and wires will stay in dash. one small wire lead has plug that has to be unclipped too.
