Need help to remove a switch.........

I have to change the fog light switch and I have no idea how to remove it without removing the dash cover.

Is there any easier way to do it????

Fog light switch

I believe that you can get to it from the trunk. Of course, there are likely to be several things in the way before you can actually remove it. I don't believe that removing the dash cover would help. Besides, you would have to pull the windshield to remove the dash cover!

+1 from the trunk, you have no choice, removing the dash will not help.

got to remove the air box and air scoop

Take carefull note of wiring connection before replacing.

i pulled mine by just moving the center air conditioner outlet over, removing the clock and putting your hand in and you can grab the back of the switch. you probably don't need to move the air duct as i was already in there form the other side and had it all loosened.
