Great answer jack
I found this picture for headlamp switch. It appears the knob is a press fit, pull it off, then there is a keeper ring, unscrew the ring, the switch removes from the back. Try reaching up behind the dash to remove. If you can't reach it, try removing lower part of dash panel. In the picture, the lower left is headlamp switch.
My database has nothing on this procedure. Other than what I have posted, I would have to look at it.

Here is the recall info.
The vehicles affected by this recall are certain ‘92 & ‘93 model year Ford Thunderbirds and Mercury Cougars. The problem; the headlights turn off, then come back on after driving with the fog lights on. Ford is replacing the headlight switch and if necessary the electrical connector for the headlight switch. Repairs for a safety recall are to be performed at no cost to the vehicle owner, even if you are not the original owner. In addition, if the headlight switch was replaced before the recall, the owner is entitled to a refund for repairs. But the owner should still bring their vehicle in for inspection. Why? The replacement part may not have been of the new design.

This is easy. Lift the lid open. Look at the back of the sealed beam and you will see a clip and an o ring. Pull the clip up and pull wires back toward the driver's seat. Unscrew the o ring and firmly pull the bulb out toward the driver again. Note the 3 tabs on the bulb seat and realign the new bulb with those tab ( 2 bottom, 1 top). Replace with #9007 bulbs..do them both.

Have u tested the dimmer switch for the instrument panel lites? it is near the hd lite switch, they are a common cause of the problem, very common, also have found that allot of folks don't know there dimmer is trurned off.

The 2003 Sable has the same headlight assembly and removal/replacement instructions as the 2001 Sable. Once I had this information in hand, bulb replacement was easy.

This photo was very helpful on replacing switch on my 95 Mercury sable station wagon. I ended up removing parts of dash to get to it since I couldn't find a way to reach under.
