Savage Switches - Remove / install
Hi,
Sorry for a numpty question but I need to rewire my rear fog light to meet current IVA regs.
These means removing the Savage switch, so on and so forth.
This is where I stumble over, not having instructions, for the life of me, I cannot figure out how the damn thing is removed!!!
Please can some one help, there must a magical hole or something or other I cannot see 
Thanks
Steve

There is a plastic thread on the switch with a metal bush, its behind the dash, unscrew it and it will slip out.

The square switch housing might need to come off first - it's on a barb

If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Again, one the square bit at the back where the terminals are there shpuld be a barb. If ypu cant find it or it dont just slide off then its been
glued on. Happened to two of mine. I had to replace them. They are not xheap.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
Please read my ring story:

Hi
This is our switch & wiring
 
As others have said the square switch section need to come off
first & it is on a barb,
there is a small leg you need to push in whilst you pull the 2 bits appart.
but before you do this you need to disconnect the 2 wires to A&B
terminals, as these are attached to the top removable part of
the switch ( for the switch to light up)
Then just unscrew the ring which clamps it to the dash.
I can see no earthly reason why anyone would glue them in.
Having said all this we did all our dash wiring on the bench which made life a lot easier & used a large connector to attach it to the car,these
switches are pretty & fashionable but are poorly designed & not brilliant quality, although none of ours have failed yet.
Switch without the square section
The bit you push to release the barb
good luck
