Blower Switch help Please

First off I think I needed to label this DASH REMOVAL HELP

I have read through the tech section and I know this may sound silly since I have a basic idea of what needs done...
98 E150 conversion
problem ... The blower control switch for the front blower only works on one setting.
Solution We have bought a new switch...

**** The lighted switch quit turning easily and fused itself after a soda spilled on dash. vice grips are a pain but blower does work on low and medium and will not turn to High. Need to completely clean the underside of panel and change stuck switch****

Now My problem..... How do I carefully take the panel off the dash to install the new switch. I guess I am looking for clip locations and tips on how not to break my dash panel...

Thanks in advance!

After you get the new switch in and it also only works in one position (high speed, right?) come back here and I can tell you how to fix that.

Mark the switch its self over heated and melted after a soda was spilled on the dash fusing it... it works on low and medium but i am tired of using vice grips to turn the switch... so for 12 bucks - new switch

OK, that's probably the problem. You said it only worked in one position, not two.
