Joe and Charles:
I seem to remember that there is a trick to removing the headlight switch.
Don't you have to reach under the dash and use a screwdriver to press a
little button to get the knob/shaft to release or something like that? As I
recall this device is also a main junction for all the hot wires, so you get
to see how everything is hooked up; or, where you could find power to wire
up your cigar lighter or new stereo CD player.
