Steps
- Remove the door panel
Release the trim at the upper front corner and unplug the speaker lead. Remove the door-pull trim and Torx screws, then work a panel tool around the edges to release the clips before lifting the panel off its ledge.
- Disconnect the door-panel wiring
Unhook the latch cables from the handle and unplug the door-lock and window-switch connectors. Set the panel on a protected surface so its wiring and finish are not damaged.
- Remove and replace the switch
Remove the switch assembly's retaining screw and push the assembly up through the panel. Release the bezel, fit the replacement switch, and reinstall the bezel and retaining screw securely.
- Reconnect the panel and verify operation
Reconnect the switch, lock wiring, latch cables, and speaker lead. Hang the panel on the door, press each clip into place, reinstall the pull screws and trim pieces, then test every window and lock function.
