Note:
The pictures for this DIY guide
show the 2-switch assembly for the SC models. The
procedure is essentially identical for the SL & SW models,
but there are 2 more switches in the assembly.
Needed:
Tools:
Rag (optional, but
recommended)
Flat-head screwdriver
(stubby works great), or other prying tool
Removal
Optional Prep:
Remove
armrest. It's do-able with the armrest in, but tight.
Step 1: Pry the back end of
the switch upward. Put your rag around the end of the prying tool
(to prevent scratching), carefully wedge it under the edge
of the back end of the switch, and pry upward. The
prying needs done on the back end, because the front end is
held with a tab, where as the back end is held in with
spring clips.
Step 2: Unplug the wiring
harnesses. There are 2 wiring harnesses for the window
switches (they're larger than pictured if you have an SL or
SW). You should be able to use your prying tool, or
even your fingers to dislodge the clip for each and unplug
them.
Step 3: Remove the mirror
switch. You can unhook the wiring harness from the
mirror switch just like the ones for the window switches, or
you can even more simply unclip the whole switch from the
surrounding plate. Just squeeze on the tab on each
side of the switch assembly.
