Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 2/5
- Estimated time: 30-45 minutes per door
Instructions:
- Park vehicle on level ground, set parking brake, and disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shorting.
- Remove the door panel: locate and remove visible screws, then use a trim panel tool to carefully pry off the panel retaining clips. Lift the panel away to expose the switch area and wiring.
- Locate the power door lock switch assembly and remove any trim bezel or retaining clips securing the switch.
- Unplug the wiring harness from the back of the old switch. If connectors are tight, depress the locking tab before pulling.
- Remove the old switch from the bezel by releasing the retaining tabs or screws, then install the new switch into the bezel until it snaps or seats securely.
- Reconnect the wiring harness to the new switch. Reconnect the negative battery terminal temporarily and test the switch for correct lock/unlock operation before reassembling the door panel.
- If operation is correct, disconnect battery again, reinstall the door panel and secure all screws and clips, then reconnect the battery and perform a final functional check.
