ABSTRACT:
A switch control assembly (26) located in an instrument panel (28) of a vehicle (20) includes a switch assembly (54) which is actuatable between an actuated condition and an unactuated condition. A housing (52) which encloses the switch assembly (54) is connected with the instrument panel (28) by a latch assembly (78). The latch assembly (78) is operable between an engaged condition retaining the housing (52) in the instrument panel (28) and a disengaged condition in which the latch assembly is ineffective to retain the housing in the instrument panel. An actuator member (32) is connected with the switch assembly (54) and is rotatable relative to the housing (52) to actuate the switch assembly. The actuator member (32) can also be rotated relative to the housing (52) to operate the latch assembly (78) to the disengaged condition to release the housing for movement relative to the instrument panel (28). When the latch assembly (78) is in the disengaged condition, the actuator member (32) can be manually pulled to move the housing (52) and the switch assembly (54) out of the instrument panel (28).
