Hello,
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
My wife has a 1994 F-150. The trim piece around the instrument cluster was broken and I thought I'd be a good guy and replace it for her. I found a new trim piece in the back room of a rural dealership. I had no problem getting the old trim piece off and the new piece on, but I cannot get the headlight switch **** back on the tang that sticks through the dashboard. I try and shove the old **** on to the shaft, but there is no "click" or other indication that it attached. I've looked at the inside of the **** and there is nothing obviously broken.

Thanks for any suggestions, I feel like a dope, but this just has me stumped.

I have problems with mine also, the little metal piece that cinches down on the shaft stays on the shaft when I pull mine off. I have to take it off the shaft and put it into the ****, then put the **** on the shaft.

I hope this makes sense, not sure how else to explain it

Okay, I was afraid that something like this was the case. There is a metal piece that helps the **** stay on the shaft or tang? I think that the metal piece must have fallen off without me noticing when I removed the ****. Maybe it is still on the truck's floor (unlikely). Could you describe the metal piece so I can look for it?

Yes, there's a V in there, or the "Tang" as you're calling it...

I've found sometimes a gentle nudge with a flat blade screwdriver puts the correct "Bend" back in it to hold onto the light pole.....

Hope this helps...
