1984 5th Avenue light switch removal.

My 1884 5th Avenue has no marker, tail, and dash lights. The fuse is fine so I suspect the light switch is at fault. How do I get it out to inspect it?
Thanks, Roger.

Remove the wood grain dash face- you can see the Phillips screws across the top and bottom of it that hold it on, then you'll see the screws that hold the switch in.

Tilting the wheel down and putting the shifter in a lower gear without starting the car (and with your foot on the brake) will make it easier to get the woodgrain face off.

Thanks Mike, I got the switch out but that wasn't the problem. Turned out to be the wire from the fuse to the switch, I replaced it with heavier wire - the original looked a bit thin for continous 9 amp current.
