head light switch removal
Ok I know this is a simple question but I haven't done this much, so bear with me. My 69 f100's head lights are blinking off and on after about 2 miles of driving with the lights on. I realize that there is a loose connection. I can't seem to find it with the switch still installed so, of course, I want to remove it. Sounds easy enough, but since I have been shy to mess with the dash wiring, I'm kinda new to the removal procedures. Does the **** on the switch pull off? I went to the LMC truck site and a new switch seems to come without the **** and shaft ( by just looking at the drawing of the switch itself). The **** has no set screw that I can find. When I unscrew the retaining ring the hole in the dash is too small for the **** to pass through. I drive this truck every day and don't want to destroy any more than I have to. (been there, done that, and replacement is a problem sometimes as you all know. ) Any insight you may have will be appreciated.

try reaching around under your dash on top of the switch there is a button. press that button and pull on the ****, it should pull right out. unscrew chrome nut and pull the switch out from behind Good luck, rich
