Wow! This is not easy... I pulled my trusty repair manual off the shelf and thought, okay, a few steps to remove it from the dash, but noooo...

Here are the steps...

NOTE: some of the steps are covered in more detail in the "Related Questions" below.

  • Since you're dealing with some wiring that is HOT all the time, disconnect the negative battery cable
  • Pull the knob off the headlight switch and the retainer nut you can now see
  • Remove instrument cluster trim panel (the fun begins)
    • remove the ignition lock cylinder (see "Related Questions")
    • If you have tilt steering, drop it all the way down
    • Remove the cover from under the steering column by removing the 4 bolts
    • Remove the upper & lower steering column trim pieces
  • Remove the multi-function switch - which is the turn signal stalk

    2 torx screws and the 2 wiring connections (see "Related Questions")

  • Put the gear shifter all the way down to the lowest position
  • Remove the 4 screws on to the instrument cluster trim / finish panel
  • Pull on the instrument cluster to release it from the hidden snap-in type fasteners
  • Disconnect the wires going to the switches, clock and warning lights.

    Almost there...

  • Now that you can get at the backside of the headlight switch, remove the 2 screws and disconnect the wire connector.

Request: if you do this, please come back and add your own notes and tricks & tips
