  • headlight plunger switch

    well my headlight plunger pulled out in my hands today, lawl.

    just forcing it back in doesnt work and truth be told it got dark and i didnt have the desire to sit under my dash upside down with a flashlight in my teeth flying blind trying to figure it out if i could get a little heads up in advance

    anyone know how this assembly goes together so i can get the plunger back in and drive at night? haha

    it should have a slot or be a triangle. It does take a little effort to get it in though. Keep rotating it until you feel it slide in a little more and push

      Don't bother going under your dash, take the top panel off and look down. Most of the older ones have a little spring loaded pin on the mechanism that you can see behind the dash when uncovered. Depress pin and the knob slides out. However having just threw a 97 up dash into my manch I will say I spent roughly 5 seconds looking for that device and said fuck it when I realized the knob could stay to remove the trim. I'm not really sure if the newer ones are removable

          97+: to get to mine i had to take the kick panel and the metal plate behind it off. youll see the assembly for the plunger, there's a little button on the inboard (radio-ward) side. Normally thats the button you have to push to remove the plunger, but try pushing it while pushing the plunger back in.plunger will take some effort.

            The switch is broken. We ended up jumping headlights, running lights, and dash lights so he could get home
