hey guy`s, i was just wondering if any of you have had to replace the driver side power window switch. the dealer quoted me $200 but i`ve seen the part for 68 dollars. i sit as easy as poppin the door panel off and disconnecting the switch connector and pull out the assy and do the reverse to re-install it? thanx in advance. jace

The install of the switch is very simpled once you get the door panel off. The switch is held on by tabs that can be released using a flat head screw driver. Below are a few pics showing the switch removal. I took these pics when I took the trim off to cover them with carbon fiber vinyl.

Interesting, I never took the door panel off. The switch just popped off and I changed it without removing the entire door panel.

I believe that's the correct procedure too.

How did you just "pop" it out? I have a 1992 Lincoln continental and cannot figure out how to pop it out. Thanks. pschultz@afcinc.org
