Part number manuals (or just parts manuals) can be had from Piper or
from Essco (spelling?). Try Des Moines Flying Service for the part,
or try preferredairparts.com (aka "jilco").

If it's like my Cherokee, the plastic around the front of the switches
comes off. It's fitted into litle grooves on the top & bottom. Then some
big screws come out and the switch subpanel is removed from the back. With
some wiggling you can reach in the hole that the switch was in to unscrew the
switch from the sub-panel. Then you can disconnect the wires and replace
the switch. I found that removing the bottom radio & tray let me get at the
back of the switches much more easily than from underneath.
