Rewiring a Dyson DC04?

I got the switch out eventually using a bent bradal, pushed at a angle down the back of the button and twisted and the button pops out as above. Also a bit of good advice from another website is to drill a small hole under the button lock edge thro into the hose storage area. This allows you to press the clip in from the hose side using a small screwdriver next time this happens !!! I have had the problem twice - my wife thinks the cable will stretch if you pull it hard enough. !!

The information above is correct. Even following this I managed to break off the plastic lug. It probably needs a special tool to do it easily

Down the side of the on/off switch when viewed from the top is a tiny hole. In theory you put a small screwdriver or thin blade down the side of the switch, depress a spring tag built into the switch button and the button then comes out. Below this a screw, undo to remove and rewire switch. I only found out the hard way (by breaking it first). Hallelujah for Araldite.
