1940 Olds Headlight Switch Removal?

[scot]

Hello,

 

I am at a loss.  Putting in a new wire harness on my Series 90.  I can not for the life of me get the headlight switch out.   Pushing down on what feels like a spring steel piece that is over the switch rod.   Will not release the rod.  Any ideas, photo of what I am supposed to be pushing on? 

 

Thanks in advance.

Probably done by now since it was June of last year but did you pull the shaft all the way out (lights on position) before you pushed down on the spring loaded plunger on top of the switch?

Hello, yes I did that.  still no luck.  Ended up taking the insturment cluster out of the dash to get the new wires on.  Still have not finished it all!  

 

Thanks for replying.
