holding the switch in position when mounted.
FIGURE 162
To remove a switch from its mounting, a special tool,
KMO-685, is available. This tool fits in a notch at either end
of the housing, Figure 162, to unlock the snap locks, releas-
ing the switch assembly for removal straight out from its
mounting in the door panel.
Removal of switches must be done carefully as the switch
housings are molded of plastic, except 5D and 7D.
When defective single switches are encountered, it is
advisable to replace them as a complete unit
MULTIPLE SWITCH UNITS
Separate switch units are replaceable in the multiple
switch, eliminating the necessity of replacing the whole
quadruple unit.
If one of the center switches has to be replaced, first
move the end unit next to the defective center unit This is
necessary since the control knob pivot pin can not be
removed from either of the center switches without first
removing, the end switch.
REMOVAL
1. Remove the two parallel buss bars attached to the motor
and battery terminals of the switch units.
2. Depress, the unit spring retaining clips with tool KMO-
685 while pressing in on the control knob, Figure 163.
3. With a wire, push the brass pivot pin out
