We have a american coach and I need to remove a cover(light switch) from the 6 switch cluster. How can I remove it without breaking it? These have been used in AC's for a good while. Thanks in advance

Well, there are a couple of different switch cover set ups but basically they boil down to two.

1: Some kind of screw, it may be in front or behind (However I gather behind is not accessible)

2: Snap on,, Carefully pry it off.

Fleetwood usually used a pinchlock switch. Try to get your hand behind the switch. Pinch the switch at the top and bottom. That will release the lock. Push out the switch toward the front.

I appreciate the quick responces, when viewed from behind one can see the screws installed from the front. The cover is covering the screw heads, tried to remove cover from front and it just won't release. The cover is about 4 1/2 inches wide and about 2 1/2 inches tall with 6 switches and glows green when something is on in the system. Hope this helps to help me,LOL

OK finally got it off! Two studs on each side, when they release you think it just broke! There's no release, just careful force straight off. Thanks for responding.
