    After removing the lower dash panel, how is the auxiliary switch panel released? I tried pulling down and straight out but it won't release. Anyone ever had luck removing this bad boy? I want to add a new switch. Thank you!

    Simple reminder to be gentle when removing from those clips seen in the pics @The Black Mamba posted, given she's a 20 year broad....plastic trim and molding tools come in handy.

    100%, I do have the molding tools. Those are a good investment...thank you for the heads up!
