3. Switches
All switches are rocker-type and are located centrally in the instrument panel.
CAUTION: ALTHOUGH SMALL SWITCH ASSEMBLIES ARE EASIER TO REMOVE IF WIRING IS
FIRST DISCONNECTED, THE LIMITED WORK SPACE BEHIND THE PANEL CAN
RESULT IN BURNED WIRE INSULATION. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO UNSOLDER THESE
SMALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL UNDER ANY
CONDITIONS. IF NECESSARY, CUT WIRES AT POINT OF CONNECTION. IN ANY
CASE, IT’S BETTER TO DAMAGE THE SWITCH AND REPLACE IT, RATHER THAN
DAMAGE THE WIRING HARNESS LEADS.
