Mirror Switch, Rear Driver Side

The Power Window Switch must be disconnected at the first step before replacing the power Mirror Switch to prevent express up/down injuries. Protective coating or tape should be placed on the entry point for the small flat-bladed tool in order to safeguard the inner door trim panel from harm. The removal process must begin with the Ignition Switch in the off position to stop switch shorting. Start by driving a plastic flat-bladed instrument downward behind the switch mounting plate to withdraw the mounting plate retainer and simultaneously lift the front side of the plate. A small flat-bladed tool will free the Mirror Switch retainers so you can extract the switch before disconnecting the electrical connector which completes removal of the door component. To install the power Mirror Switch assembly users should first attach it to the mounting plate followed by electrical connector connection after which users must insert the mounting plate into the door trim panel opening to press down on the retainer.

First prepare to change the power Mirror Switch through a plastic flat-bladed tool inserted at the switch mounting plate front edge that must be both pressed backward to open the mounting plate retainer while the front edge of the plate gets lifted upward. Disconnect the Power Window Switch before starting to work because the express up/down feature will cause rapid movement of the door window. Protective coating and tape should be applied to the tool insertion point to guard against harm to the inner door trim panel. Begin the door trim panel and switch plate removal by first putting the Ignition Switch to off to stop any short circuits from occurring with metal objects. The installation of the Mirror Switch requires a small flat-bladed tool for retainer release until the switch is free from the door. After switch removal you must disconnect the electrical connector before removing the switch from the door. Installation of the power Mirror Switch consists of setting the mounting plate on its plate then connecting wires to the power Mirror Switch before sliding the mounting plate into the door trim opening and pushing to lock the retainer.

The Power Window Switch needs to be detached first so the express up/down feature cannot injure technicians. Protective coating or tape should be placed at the insertion point where a small flat-bladed tool will access the inner door trim panel to prevent any damage. Instead of disconnecting the Ignition Switch the technician should turn it off before attempting switch removal to avoid shorting. Start by putting a plastic flat-bladed tool into the switch mounting plate at the front edge then push it toward the rear to let go of the retaining clip with gentle upward movement of the plate front section. To perform this task start by releasing the Mirror Switch retainers with an appropriate flat-bladed tool followed by switch removal then unplug the electrical connector before taking the switch out. The power Mirror Switch assembly needs to be attached to the mounting plate followed by electrical connector installation onto the power Mirror Switch before inserting the mounting plate into the door trim panel opening while pressing down to activate the retainer.

The first step for power Mirror Switch replacement requires insertion of a plastic flat-bladed tool into the front edge of the switch mounting plate to release the mounting plate retainer while lifting up on the front of the plate. The Power Window Switch needs to be detached to avoid risks from the express up/down feature that operates the door window fast. The switch plate and door trim panel removal must occur only when the Ignition Switch shows off because metal objects can short out the switch while it is removed. Users should use protective coating or tape at the small flat-bladed tool insertion area to protect the inner door trim panel from damage. By employing a small flat-bladed tool to detach the window switch retainers people can remove the switch after disconnecting the electrical connector. You should position the Power Window Switch assembly onto the mounting plate followed by connecting electrical connectors to the Power Window Switch until the mounting plate fully connects with the door trim panel opening by pressing down on the retainer.

Use coating or tape at the insertion point of the flat surface tool to prevent damage.

Place the power window switch assembly onto the mounting plate, connect the electrical connectors, align the mounting plate with the door trim panel opening, and press down to secure it.

Reinstall the front door trim panel.
