DIY - How to remove the light switch

[TwinsPoppa]

Thanks to mrbmwX5 for showing me how to do this!

Gently take a flathead screwdriver and pry up to unclip the vent at #1 & #2. You will hear a click each time indicating its unclipped.


Gently wedge the flathead at the top between the vent & dash at #3 and push down (don't twist). This will pop the vent out and you can just pull it up and out.


Take the flathead screw driver and wedge it between the dash and switch at #4. Push the screwdriver away from you and you will hear a click, keep going and firmly push harder - then you'll know when it has totally unlclipped. Do the same at #5.


Switch loose. Notice how large the tabs are. That's why you have to push until it seems its going to break or doesn't want to come out.


Take a tiny flathhead and push down at #6 to release the gray lock.


Push the gray lock down to position #7. At this point your parking lights will come on and your dash will indicate your lights are on. I have no idea why. Continue to remove the harness by grabbing the black connector at #8 and pull firmly straight up. It will just pop out.
