2004 Cadillac XLR Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the left front power window switch on 2004 Cadillac XLR?

  A: Start by putting the Ignition Switch to off before performing left front Power Window Switch replacement. You start by unfastening the door trim panel before proceeding with the removal of retainer screws from the upper trim's rear side and finally taking off the upper trim from the door. The energy absorber should be extracted from the door panel after which the armrest assembly will need to have four screws removed from its rear section and one screw from its forward end. The installer needs to disconnect the wire harness of the armrest before removing the armrest assembly while following protocol for finish protection against damage to the mirror and window and the applique attached to the door lock switch plate. The power window assembly should be extracted from its position in the door panel and the wire harness needs disconnecting. The installation process requires attaching the new Power Window Switch to the armrest switch plate applique while pushing it into place for correct connection. After connecting the wire harness to the Power Window Switch assembly, reinsert this assembly into the pocket of the door trim panel while removing protective tape afterward. You should install the armrest to the door trim panel using four retaining screws at the rear and one screw at the forward end. Seal these screws with a torque of 10 n.m (89 lb in). Reinstall the inner energy absorber to the door panel before placing the upper trim in position while tightening all retainers at the back of the door trim panel to 10 n.m (89 lb in). For the final step replace the door trim panel.
