Re: Headlight switch stuck
Try again before destroying it. Move the switch at the same time you push from behind, you may be lucky and the tabs are released. :wink: Yeah i might try a cupple of times before doing so. I just try it everyday and see if i get lucky. When i press hard on it from behind it feels like the whole pa...

Re: Headlight switch stuck
So basically the springs that push in/out the hinges that lock the switch are jammed or something like that. I just need to destroy it to get it out, haha

Re: Headlight switch stuck
You have to remove the bit you turn, then prise the rest apart with a screwdriver which will allow you to get to the catches and release them. Easiest to lever it out with a screwdriver Itll be destroyed. Damn , Ok atleast i know it now. Im just debating on if its worth it or not , I was going to p...

Re: Headlight switch stuck

Yeah i just tried today and i cant see if the clips that lock...

Re: Headlight switch stuck
I assume you have turned the switch to the '0' position, pushed inwards and while holding in turn the switch clockwise to release the catches and then pull out? I know how to do it . I am doing exacly that but the thing is it wont budge. Its like the clips that hold it in place dont move inwards li...

Re: Headlight switch stuck
I seem to remember having that problem when I first thought about retro fitting foglights to my old Passat - eventually I managed to get it out - I'd think that it is these "dismantling/locking" latches that are still causing you problems - can you see what is happening to one or both of ...

Re: Headlight switch stuck
Once the switch knob is inserted and secured in the dismantling position you should push it from the rear. Turn the switch assembly slightly to one side and another while pushing. If it does not come out in this way use the hands of the neighbor to extract it ... :mrgreen: Yeah im going to have to ...

Re: Headlight switch stuck
I tried pulling the side panel off and pushing the switch from behind but it wouldnt move. Im worried its just jammed in there , maybe its just about the push harder tecnique
.
The clips that are supposed to go in when you push and turn the switch seem to be jammed or something, they dont budge.
