This job looks fairly easy -- three nuts and a electrical plug. However, if the interior door panel needs to be removed I can see where the job might become a project. Can anyone tell me what I'm in for. Thanks. Ray

You will need to remove the door panel. It is fairly easy to do. First just remove the screws. A picture is below to help you locate them. Then just pull out on the panel to detach the hidden inner clips. Then detach the lock cable (I find it easier to just remove the door handle/lock assembly from panel). Then you will need to disconnect the power switches and set the panel aside.
