Removal Procedure

    CAUTION: Disconnect the power window switch when working inside the driver door. When operated, the Express Up/Down Feature allows the door window to move very quickly, without stopping, which could cause personal injury.
    NOTE: Apply protective coating/tape at the insertion point of the small flat-bladed tool in order to prevent damage to the inner door trim panel.
    IMPORTANT: When removing a door trim panel or switch plate, the ignition switch must be in the OFF position. This will eliminate the possibility of shorting out the switch if a screwdriver, awl or metal object is used to remove the switch from the harness.
  1. Insert a plastic flat-bladed tool at the front edge of the switch mounting plate. Press the tool rearward to release the mounting plate retainer and lift up on the front of the plate.
  2. Using a small flat-bladed tool, carefully release the mirror switch retainers and remove the switch.
