Hi,

Sorry for a numpty question but I need to rewire my rear fog light to meet current IVA regs.

These means removing the Savage switch, so on and so forth.

This is where I stumble over, not having instructions, for the life of me, I cannot figure out how the damn thing is removed!!!

Please can some one help, there must a magical hole or something or other I cannot see

Thanks

Steve

There is a plastic thread on the switch with a metal bush, its behind the dash, unscrew it and it will slip out.

Stolen from Bens photos

Savage switch wiring

The square switch housing might need to come off first - it's on a barb

Yep, leaves just the barrel AFAIK which will then fit back through the mount hole

Hmm, no luck just pulling on it, am I being a wimp as I don't want to break it

there is a small leg you need to push in while you pull.

ETA is anone else getting a malware blocked on this page from avast??

Again, one the square bit at the back where the terminals are there shpuld be a barb. If ypu cant find it or it dont just slide off then its been glued on. Happened to two of mine. I had to replace them. They are not xheap.

Hi
This is our switch & wiring




As others have said the square switch section need to come off
first & it is on a barb,
there is a small leg you need to push in whilst you pull the 2 bits appart.
but before you do this you need to disconnect the 2 wires to A&B
terminals, as these are attached to the top removable part of
the switch ( for the switch to light up)
Then just unscrew the ring which clamps it to the dash.
I can see no earthly reason why anyone would glue them in.

Having said all this we did all our dash wiring on the bench which made life a lot easier & used a large connector to attach it to the car,these switches are pretty & fashionable but are poorly designed & not brilliant quality, although none of ours have failed yet.

Switch without the square section




The bit you push to release the barb





good luck
