Dash lights/Tail Lights dead

i have checked all fuses under dash and there is no problems there - could this be a headlamp switch problem?? How to remove/replace the switch?? I drive a 1994 F150.

Thanks in advance.

Use a hook probe in the slot to remove the headlight ****. Pry out the 2 trim strips beside the column, remove the 7mm/T15 screws, and pull the cluster bezel off. Disconnect any wiring from it & set it aside. Remove the 2 phillips screws from the headlight switch bracket & pull it out of the dash. Disconnect it & check for charring around the terminals. If present, replace the connector & switch.



An old OE switch from the junkyard is better than a new Chinese one from the zone.

You can either unplug the switch, or remove it from the bezel. There are 2 phillips screws.
