Reach behind the dash panel and depress the release button on the bottom (as I recall) of 
the switch, then pull the knob off.  I usually go in with my right hand and pull the knob 
with the left.  Then don't forget to push the switch shaft back in, otherwise the 
headlights and/or parking lights will be left on and drain your battery.
