How do you change the fuses in a 1961 Ford Falcon?

There is a fuse box connected to the headlight switch which you can either access from underneath or by removing the instrument panel. The fuse box is connected to the headlight switch by a metal clip with a small retaining screw or pin. The fuse box uses only 4 fuses so you can easily replace them without removing the box from the headlight switch.

How do you remove the headlight switch on a 1961 impala?

You have to reach up behind the dash and feel for a spring loaded button on the switch. If you have a new switch to install, notice the small button on the new switch. This will help you locate the button on the old one because you can not see it when the switch is installed. While you push in on the button you can pull the knob and shaft out of the switch from the front. Now you can unscrew the bezel/nut from the front and slide the switch out from under the dash to give you room to unplug the wire harness from the switch. If you have a new switch to install, the knob and shaft simply snaps back into place.
