You pull it (down), it's not as easy to pull as the headlight switch on the dash, but don't pull too hard. I've already broken a headlight switch pulling too hard :cry
Does your switch move at all?

If it is stuck, you might try reaching up and holding the upper part of it with your left hand while pulling down on the end of it with your right hand. A sharp tug with right hand only could yank the whole switch out from under the dash, or break it in 2 pieces.. :( MJ

(Just in case...)
There are four switches under my dash ('69). From left to right they are: trip odometer reset (by itself), headlight override, wiper electrical override, wiper door override.
Pull down either of the vacuum switches, and the respective part opens. Turn the "****" and the wipers freeze wherever they are in travel.
