Just pull on the switch until it comes off after that unscrew the rest of it

If you need to shortcut reley for lights, you will find light green and red (or something-red) wire in blue connector behind this switch.
You will have to remove black shiny dash around cluster to remove switch and disconnect that connector and see wires.

So the whole dash needs to come out ?

I got the dash light fixed !

Thanks D3nso for the dash manual, but you do NOT i repeat NOT need to cut the green / white- red clabla. if you do that the switch wont work.

To get it fixed you need to remove the lightswitch and shortcut the 2 white cables installed on the rehostat.

Thanks !

Not cut red/green wires, just shortcut them to +12V since, that will fire reley in engine compartment.
If reley is broken, than you can shortcut wires, it will work, but that is not really clever idea... it is there for a reason
