Removal Procedure

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 flat-bladed tool, awl or metal object is used to remove the switch from the harness.

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.

Insert a plastic, flat-bladed tool at the front edge of the switch mounting plate. Press rearward to release the mounting plate retainer and lift up on the front of the plate.
