Re: Headlight switch removal help

I removed the headlight switch in my 54 Cvalier.

There is a little allen set screw that lets you remove the knob.

I made a wrench to unscrew the nut that holds the switch in the dash which has two pins that engage the slots on either side.

My car has an ashtray directly under the switch that can be eisily removed and then you can get to the wires easily.

The wires plug into the switch and you can destroy the switch if you get heavy handed. The wires in my car are stiff and petrified.

Disconnect the battery before you start.

The switch is easy to damage and I believe they are scarace.
