Still can't get the fan switch out!

We took everything out but the center dash/console on the bottom... but the stuff that covers the harness for the radio and HVAC controls, etc is all out. We tried EVERYTHING to try and remove that last piece of "panelling" and nothing worked. We looked in the FSM (yes, hahahahahahaha I have one) and we found the pic which says how to remove the fan switch from the whole heat/air controls... Thing is... IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY!!!!
I have had enough of all this. I don't care anymore. I walked away and my dad put most of the stuff back together so that I can get to work. Oh joy. I swear I should just burn my car sometimes!
