Re: Problems with TJ headlamp/dimmer switch?
I picked one up here in FL at the local Advance Auto Parts today. Cost me
all of $16.41 & from looking at the old one under the dash, it's almost
exact. Now all I have to do is figure out how to get to it & install it.

There is a hole or pin you push in from the back, then the shaft
will pull out. Then take a large phillips screwdriver (#3) and it
will fit in the nut in the front of the switch.
