Steps
Disconnect power and release trim
Turn the ignition off and disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the lock knob and carefully pry off the small trim pieces around the handle, pull, and mirror base.
Remove panel screws and switches
Remove the fasteners hidden behind the handle and pull trim. Lift the switch panel with a trim tool, unplug its connectors, and keep the wiring supported.
Lift the panel away
Release the panel clips around its perimeter, then lift the panel upward off the door. Disconnect the latch cables and free the water shield only where access requires it.
Reconnect cables and wiring
Reconnect the latch cables and electrical plugs, ensuring each connector locks. Align the panel at the window channel and lower it into its original position.
Secure the panel and restore power
Press the perimeter clips home and reinstall all screws and trim pieces. Reconnect the battery, then test the lock, handle, window switch, and door speaker.
