    O.k. stupid question, how in the world do I get the light switch out of the dash, I can't even get the knob off of the switch. I have no front parking lights but the grill markers blink so I'm thinking maybe switch. Thanks I would never have gotten this car this far without the help from this forum.

    When I do it I remove the dash gauges and the heater switch assembly, then reach behind the light switch and pull the connection off, there is a little button on the switch (inside there) that you pull and out comes the knob, btw when you remove the dash gauges donĀ“t forget to pull of the speedo cable...

    Good luck!!!!

    Feel up around the switch, there is a flat metal part with a little tit sticking out, you have to push that in, then you and pull the knob ans shaft out of the switch (push in and pull at the same time) then use a big flat screw driver, and the bezel will spin off the front.
