The lockout switch screws into the top rear of the under dash bracket where the OD lockout knob is located. If the switch and bracket are still stock there will be a serrated lockwasher along with a locking type plate affair which consists of a rectangular piece of thin metal with the sides bent up or down to keep the switch from unscrewing.

To remove the switch bend the sides of the plate flat so they are straight out and the switch will unscrew. If the switch has been a problem before it might have the wear issue so it could have been worked on in the past. If that is the case there is a chance the plate or the regular lockwasher or both will be gone. Removing an item was the temporary fix short of replacing the switch because removing the washer or plate allows the switch to sit lower so that the plunger wear is somewhat compensated for.
