headlight rotary switch

hello I have a 1973 f100 390 ci v8 c4? trans. All the electrical components are new. my battery has been dying and i have pinpointed the current draw down too my instrument panel lights. I am almost sure that I need to remove the switch itself and check amperage at the fuse box just to be sure that the switch is the problem. I think the switch is internally grounded and it is the culprit. I don't know how to pull out the switch. I have no problem getting the ***** off I need to get the actual switch located behind the dash out I think? Anyone else who might have some advice I would really appreciate it. thanks for reading.
