Headlight **** '78
I have a question about removing this. I read the previous thread on the same issue, but I was wondering, with the little plastic button on the switch do I push it straight down or it is supposed to slide back? I can get it to slide back but with no amount of force will it go straight down.
Then I have to pull as hard as I can? Is there a specific spot the **** has to be in before I push the button or to pull it out correctly? Do I have to pull until I give myself a hernia? My dash panel is hanging on by this asinine little **** in the corner and I am about ready to snap it off out of anger. They should have made it the same as the rest of the *****.

That's correct.
That's why you disconnect the battery before working on it.
You don't push the button down until the switch is in the *headlights on* position

Or if you want a fire under the dash when the wiring shorts out, or worse yet if you have a ring on your hand... -ALWAYS disconnect the battery.
I saw a picture of a guys hand where a ring had shorted some electrical contacts, burned it down to the bone all the way around, -very nasty.

Depends on what youre doing I guess. I havent had to get in depth enough recently to where I was worried about getting into electrical contacts. I have seen what happened to a guy I knew who checked his coil by puttting a screwdriver in it and cranking the motor over at the selenoid.
