smaltzie Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 sorry john this is off subject. trying to remove my light witch out of my 56 to fix so my dash light will work. How do you remove it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andynator Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 JohnD,All of the Series 50 and 70 convertibles that I have seen (except for ONE) have a solid one-color dash and door sash the same as the body color. I have seen one Roadmaster that was Old Ivory or Sequoia Cream that had a solid black dash. Don't know why.The door panels generally mimic the upholstery but can also contrast by being a body color.

JohnD1956 Posted February 6, 2005 Author Share Posted February 6, 2005 Smaltzie, I just sent you a PM on removing the light switch. It's really easy. Please let me know how you make out.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted February 6, 2005 Author Share Posted February 6, 2005 Hi Shine 49. Thanks for these pictures, They are very helpful. I was wondering, what is that chrome knob on top of the dash above the radio? Is that the power top switch?Also, is that dashboard Maroon?JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smaltzie Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 great thanks! the short was in the spring. I just connect th back with the jumper wire and i have dash lights! The best way to remove is to go thru the top of the dash. Bugger to work around the steering column. You are not kidding about when you take apart. I had a frien help me and we came up with a few tricks to put it back together with ease. Thanks againRandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted February 7, 2005 Author Share Posted February 7, 2005 Top o the dash works too. Glad it's back.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
