Headlamp Switch: Service and Repair
Headlamp Switch - Removal
REMOVAL
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before
attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component
diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to
discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper
precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Using a trim stick or another suitable wide flat-bladed tool, gently and evenly pry around the perimeter of the headlamp switch (1) face plate
toward the rear of the vehicle. Once the retention force of the four metal spring clips (two on each side) on the switch housing has been overcome,
the switch will come out from the mounting hole in the lower end of the left instrument panel vent bezel (2).
3. Pull the switch out of the mounting hole far enough to access and disconnect the instrument panel wire harness connector (3) from the connector
receptacle on the back of the switch housing.
4. Remove the headlamp switch from the instrument panel.
