Steps

1. Remove the front door panel

   Raise the window and release the sail panel and door pull cover. Remove the six panel clips and T25 pull fasteners, then lift the panel and disconnect the handle cable, speaker plug, and switch connectors.

   Remove the T25 screw securing the master switch. Release its retaining tabs and push the switch up and out through the panel.

3. Install the replacement switch

   Seat the new switch in the panel and secure it with the T25 screw. Confirm the switch is aligned and its buttons move freely.

4. Reconnect and refit the door panel

   Reconnect the window switch, speaker, and handle cable. Align the panel with the door, press in its clips, reinstall the T25 fasteners and covers, and refit the sail panel.

5. Test window operation

   Operate each window control and verify the panel remains secure. Confirm the speaker and interior handle work normally.
