Project was to replace the switch for burner knob lights on a Weber 470 grill. Went on-line to learn how to access switch.

Removed knob panel to find switch. This only required opening the cabinet doors and removing 2 screws. Disconnected wires and squeezed prongs to remove old switch. Reversed process to complete project. W orks great!

Use pliers to squeeze base of switch through hole in instrument/knob panel (it\'s not hard, but you\'ll have to contort your hands a bit to access the back of the light switch).

Leave the wires on the old switch until it\'s through the panel. Then simply disconnect one wire at a time from the old switch and connect to the n ew switch! After both wires are connected to the new switch, push it through the instrument panel until it clicks into place.

Door magnets take some force to remove, make sure you work one side first and then the other. Take a look at the new magnet to see which side comes out first. Handle is a breeze, takes about 2 mins. to replace. Burner is a little more time consuming since your have to disassemble the grill a little.
