This method can be used on most 1991-1994 Mercury topaz or Ford Tempo cars. ford also used this switch in many makes and models up to the early 2000's but the replacement procedure may differ depending on make/model.

Replacing the headlight switch, park lamps and interior lamps (first click pulling out switch) were not functioning. Fuse 4 (15 AMP) kept blowing, turns out in my case I have a wiring issue (direct short to ground) which I will make a future video on soon.

This video explains how to replace the switch WITHOUT REMOVING THE FUSE PANEL like ford recommends to do in the 1992 Tempo/Topaz service manual.
