Another case where RTFM would help.
Or waiting for a reply here. Always people here happy to help. Even
those that say RTFM. ggg
All light switches from the mid 30s to the mid 80s come off the same
way, with the knob staying on the shaft, and the shaft comes out of the
switch by pushing on a retaining button on the switch body. Of course I
exaggerated, not ALL switches are like this. Many foreign cars used
different approaches.... Now everyone seems to turn, push, or automatic
to get lights on.
I hope you are able to get the knob to remain on the shaft after this.
The main difference in a wiper and light knob is the wiper knob never
sees force to pull it off the shaft in normal use. The light switch
always sees pulling force in operation of the switch to the ON position.
So its knob needs to not come off by pulling.
