Janet & I will be in Panama City Beach from 19 April - 26 April 2018 for a Submarine Reunion. We will be staying at the Holiday Inn Resort and was wondering if anyone local or close by would like to meet & ride & eat while we are visiting?
I wish I could meet you there. I learned how to fly paramotors in PCB. It's a nice place. My profile photo was taken there on Shell island.

You don't have to remove the starter switch, just disconnect wires.
Ahhhh... that makes sense. I see how it would only need to be disconnected from the wiring. But when I think about it, I'll probably remove it and my switches anyway just because I have to hand over the dash to the upholstery shop for a couple of days. I figure that if I take them out there's less chance that they could be accidentally damaged as the shop works on the dash. Safer to give them just a piece of plastic. Now that I think of it, it may be a good idea to cover the faceplate with painter's tape too - less likely to get scratched up that way.

Don't know if this will help....
Dash Removal
Thank you KayTwo, that'll get me started. I'll have to figure out where the 8 T40 torx screws are that are mentioned in step "I", and I was thinking that I'll also have to remove the starter switch and the 4 rocker switches that I have there because I think that faceplate is a part of the dash. But I think I'll be able to get it out without too much trouble after seeing this. Also thanks to WraithSS for the write-up.

Maybe it's something similar to this?
OK Sleep well.......

Diamond Cargo. I don't go to pick it up until April 14th. The Sling should fit in here with room to spare. It's 96” wide from wall to wall and 84” wide on the floor between the wheel wells. (Slingshot width is 77.6" I believe.) Trailer has an 89" rear opening with a ramp. Does anyone else have this trailer? How is it? Any issue with bottoming out driving up the ramp? Is it better to back in or nose in?

Can these be wired to switch, so they can be controlled for night only?
Yes. I ended up doing that with mine. Here's the pic and post about it:

I put some puddle lights in the mirrors of my Slingshot last year. I really like them so I decided to get some for the bottoms of the doors in my F350 dually. The install is not perfect. Because of the way the door is built, I couldn't install the light housings far enough out, so they ended up with a part of the projection hitting the bottom of the doors, but I'm ok with that. I think it looks pretty nice anyway.
