Figured it Out
Looks like I figured it out myself when the guys at the auto parts store struck out. I was able to pry the plastic shield out that depresses the on/off switch. The axis that the plastic shield pivots on are actually buttons that can be depressed when you push them in from the side. I just used a very small slot-head screwdriver and pushed toward one of the buttons......and was able to pop it out.
Thought I'd document this to prevent anyone else wasting any time in responding to me.......and perhaps help someone else trying to figure this out.
