Hey guys,

how can I remove the **** of the light switch of my 65 Delta?
I've got a bad switch (rear lights don't work anymore) and I want to remove the switch. I succeded in removing the cables but I cannot remove the **** so I could take the whole switch off the dash ...

Any ideas?
I tried pulling it, I was looking for something on the back of the IP and so on, but no luck so far.

P.S:
I tested everything and I know it's a bad switch...

On the top or side of the switch there should be a round button you press in while you pull out the headlight ****. (access from behind the dash)

That button might also be on the bottom of the switch. But, yes, you do have to press it while simultaneously pulling on the **** to pull the **** and shaft that it's on all the way out. Then you loosen the retaining nut and remove the switch from the dash.

hey guys, thanks alot, got the **** and the switch out (but finally didn't solve my problem - taillights still don't work, just blinkers)

Try replacing both the rear tail lights. 1157 bulbs. On the offhand chance you could have a burnt out filament in each of them.

When you say you have blinkers, you mean hazard lights or using the turn indicator off the column

I'mtalking about the turn indicators. I checked both the bulbs (by shorting the headlight-switch-plug against battery) and they are fine. I already checked fuses, brake switch and the turn signal switch and they are fine too.
I am slowly running out of ideas...

Check the connector from the main rear harness to the tail lights. See if there's a broken wire or lost continuity in the wire that carries the running light power.
