Seized headlight switch
Hello again,
The headlight shaft/**** is stuck in the "off" position, and I can't seem to get it to move. The truck sat for 15 years, so it's probably stuck due to corrosion. I sprayed it with liquid wrench, but it's still stuck. I can't get the shaft to move at all. I'm afraid if I pull any harder on it, I'll break it. It does turn left to right. I know I'll probably have to replace it, but I need to remove it first. I know about the button on the switch to remove the shaft, but that works only after you get it to the "on" position. Any help is appreciated.
This is a 1967 M100 pickup, vin: F10YCA47463
Thanks,
John
