Highs work, low beams do not, I want to take out the dimmer to check its operation. I can't figure how to get to it, do I need to remove the floor pan?
Any help would be appreciated, 1946 1/2 ton. Thanks

From inside cab there should be a screw on each side of the button. Switch is then removed thru engine compartment. Be sure to disconnect battery first or you'll have fireworks. Switch is the same for 46 and my 49 so I would think removal is the same. Also watch for brittle wiring.

You might be able to remove it without removing the floor pan and toe board but as recall even with those removed it is tight. Also did you check for power at the terminal block on the fender? That would tell you if the switch is bad unless of course a wire went bad between the switch and the terminal block.there should be no power to the switch unless the headlights are on but disconnect the battery after you check for power at the terminal block.

Thanks for the help, I will check it at the terminal first, it seems like a hassle trying to get to it laying on your back. RNL
