Important:Β  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.
  1. Insert a plastic, flat-bladed tool at the front edge of the switch mounting plate. Press rearward in order to release the switch mounting plate retainer.
  2. Lift the mounting plate and switch from the trim panel.
