How to remove and install Cruise Control Switch,Hazard Warning Switch and Mirror Switch in Subaru Outback?

Question

Accepted Answer

Detach the switch panel and pull it out carefully by prying the cruise control switch, fog light switch, windshield wiper de-icer switch from the instrument panel and disconnecting electrical connectors from the switch, respectively. Take off the cruise control switch, fog light switch or/and windshield wiper de-icer switch on a switch panel. When installing a new one press it into the frontal part of a board's side until snaps into place. The installation is performed in reverse order of removal except that for hazard flasher circuit which requires removing a central console trim panel; taking out center vent assembly by releasing air vent fasteners and disconnecting vent's electrical connector; depressing tabs at back and pushing forward on hazard flasher button to release it; finally snapping it in place during reinstallation. In models 2007 onwards, you will find an illumination brightness control knob, remote mirror toggle or/and windshield wiper de-icer button situated at the far left end of your dash board under Instrument Panel Lower Cover (IP). Remove this cover at its end standing next to dash board. Press on rear side of this front end with your finger so as to push it off while holding onto its sides without using any tools on either end where fasteners are located; then remove two screws securing these halves together along with five more holding bracket down behind them against firewall like surface below driver side floorboard area near gas pedal which provides access holes out through bottom edge toward passenger's seat belt buckle opening above gear shift arm extension bracket they fit onto when installed beneath or near each other depending upon their position relative to one another--again use some kind of leverage such as small flat head screwdriver blade etc., just be sure not to break plastic clips holding everything together tightly because once those have been snapped back in place after removing screws mentioned above one could inadvertently damage surrounding structure trying pry too hard against it later if needed after reinstalling these plugs where they belong. Remove the center trim panel over by driver's side, and unplug connector from back of hazard flasher switch. Release all clips on rear face of this housing as well but remember that it is possible to see out bottom opening where tab goes through hole into top part because just like its counterpart there are no screws holding anything together around edges themselves; instead these parts simply snap together such that when pried apart one can tell how they fit into each other before reassembling them properly again like before while ensuring not break any more plastic along way which might require starting completely afresh during process.
