take some pliers, and some napkins, or a towel or something along those sorts so you dont scratch the knob...grab it and pull real hard.....it attaches differently from the other two knobs but it will come, just got to show it some tough love!  good luck.

I just pull on mine with my hand and they come off pretty easy, scarily easy actually! tricked is right though, the headlight and fan switch are designed differently(good job ford!  )and are a little harder to get off.

If you haven't pulled and broken the headlight switch off yet, get a small paperclip, look underneath the headlight knob, and on the knob you will see a little hole. Straighten the paperclip out, stick it in the hole and depress the clip that's holding the knob on the switch.
Whew! Run-on sentences rock!
