help a new guy
Hey everybody - first post. Just bought a 69 C10 and I'm starting to go through it. My headlights are inop (all other lights work) and I want to try some of the tips I've seen on the forum. Silly question - How do I get the knob off the headlight and wiper switches so I can remove the instrument cluster?
Thanks, looking forward to learning a lot from all of you!

Re: help a new guy
Unhook the battery, pull the light switch to the on position, reach up behind the dash and there is a little button on top of the headlight switch, press down and pull the light switch knob out. There's a set screw on the wiper knob to remove it. The chrome bezels unscrew.

Re: help a new guy
First of all: Welcome to the board.
You are not the first one asking that. I picked this answer from another thread, answererd by member: too much stuff. "Pull the knob out, reach up under the dash and on top of the actual headlight switch will be a small button. Push that down while you are pulling it out. Just remember, your headlights will be on if the battery is still connected."

Re: help a new guy
Sometimes it takes some work getting it out. Don't be afraid to pull hard and swear at it.

Re: help a new guy
Thanks, even more good tips - especially yanking and swearing at it. already did new bulbs and stomped all over the dimmer switch so now I'm looking at the switch.
