Remove ignition switch
I did a search and found out how to remove all the switches etc from the dash except the ignition switch.
Am I correct that it is held on by the bezzel? Looks like two little slots that I could make a tool for to unscrew?
Don't want to bugger it up. So I thought I would ask the experts.
Thanks in advance.

HI Guys,
Disconnect you negative battery lead if it's hooked up, then reach behind the dash, push the ignition switch toward the dash from behind, against the spring pressure, and twist it until it is released from the bezel.

Julie and Jaye,
Thanks, I'll give it a try tomorrow. I did notice that it would move forward if I pushed it from behind.
The cab is sitting on a dolly so there's no battery anywhere in sight ... LOL
Thanks for your help.

HI SS,
I might not have phrased things right above. The ignition switch should have a cut in its threads that align/lock with a stud on the dash hole to keep it from turning. When you push on the back of the switch, turn the BEZEL!
