How do you change the headlamp switch in a 1998 Jeep Wrangler?

Answer 1

You need to pull out the light switch like you were turning on the headlights. Then depress the spring loaded rivet on the metal side of the switche to unlock the knob shaft and at the same time pull on the knob. Once the knob and shaft are removed from the switch, there is a spanner nut that screws through the dash and into the switch. It is a normally threaded nut, but made of aluminum so it kind of galls up a little when you remove it. Once the spanner nut is removed, you can remove the switch from the dash and remove the wires.
