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.

    Important: Use protective coating/tape at the point of insertion of the flat surface tool. Damage to the inner door panel may occur if it is not protected.
