Headlight switch

[RayRay72]

Ok the headlight switch pulls out to turn lights on but it's a task to turn them back off. ...I dont believe it's the switch itself but the housing. Has anyone ever had to replace or repair this ??

I found it was easier to get at from under the dash..... But then again, I had the driver's seat out.

I'm not as "bendy" as I used to be.

I havent tackled it just yet as I keep it at storage. Your description was excellent tho.! It'll definitely come in handy. Another guy who posted got me to thinking that if your gonna make changes or repair anything in there now is the time to do it. So now I been looking at those Dakota dashes just for [censored]s n giggles
