replacing power window switches
I bought a new power window switch for my driver's side cause mine is being retarded and ancient and going out, and while attempting to take it out I found it's a lot more difficult than it looks. I looked in my service manual and cannot find step by step instructions or any information for that matter on this subject. Does anyone know how to get these out without breaking stuff... (I already broke the cover partially... easy fix but made me pissed as hell....) please respond asap! Thanks!

Removing the door panel is easy. There are 5 screws to remove.
Open the door and take out the 2 screws on the front edge of the door panel, near the door hinge. There is another screw located under the door handle, hidden behind the plastic plate which justs pops out with a small-bladed screwdriver (preferably magnetic) There are also 2 more screws hidden under the felt mat inside the door armrest. Just peel it away to expose the screws, These are the most important ones as they hold the entire armrest to the door frame. You cannot remove the panel with these screws in place. Once all screws are removed, just pop the clips around the bottom of the door panel by pulling gently. Once free, lift the entire panel up slightly and pull away from the door frame to see the wiring. There are 2 electrical connectors that must be disconnected; one is for the power window switch cluster and one is for the door courtesy light. With the door panel off, you will see that two or three screws hold the 4-switch assembly to the inside of the door panel; it's easy. Replacement is the reverse order. The only possible minor hassle is lining up the door lock button to slide into the door panel opening, but usually it is not a problem. Everything will line up perfectly. This is easy as members do it all the time, whether replacing switches, front speakers, or sleeve lock regulators. .

What is a sleeve lock regulator? I have heard it mentioned before and am sure I have even touched one. I'm glad it's not a snake.
