The Crimson Rocket smiles in your general direction.  Group: Members Posts: 2,927 Joined: 12-November 05 From: Tapmahamock, Va. Member No.: 5,107  |
The PO, which shall remain nameless, has removed all turn signal acutriments from my car. Now, I do have them parking Euro turn signal thingies which are directly wired to my head light switch, as per the 1971 USA schematic. Runing lights, brake lights and them freekydeeky parking marker lighhts are the only thing I have. the next step is to remove the head light switch from the dash. Now that you know it all and I stand naked before you, my question is, am I missing an apendage to remove and replace the head light switch or is it just a beehotch? I WILL disconect the battery as the Crimson Rocket has taught me from a cloud of burned wires but then once removed, how the hell will I get it back in the dash hole? This access design is unacceptable and am now in denial of this German blunder and kinda lost in a funny kinda way!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) help!

I think you need to unscrew the fuse panel and move out of the way. The pull knob of the headlight switch should screw off leaving a fastener on the front which again just screws off to loosen the switch. At this point you should be able to pull the switch back out to inspect.
That being said, I'm sure there are lots of wires who will not want to move out of the way and several connectors who will want to become disconnected. And of course, it helps to be a contortion artist to get your hands in there and be able to see what you're doing. Good luck, Spoke |
