Replace Window Master Switch

The master window switch on the driver's door panel does not work. The individual doors operate fine from their own switch. The power mirror function works. So I eliminated the DMU failure. There is no light on the switch when I lock the windows. Fuse F033 is fine. So I have concluded the master switch has failed.

So how do I replace it? Is there a write up I missed? Thanks!

I'd be interested in that replacement also. My master window "lock-out" button has the spilled soda "sticky blues" and stays engaged & locked out unless I pry up on it.

Probably have to remove the door panel to get at the bottom of the assembly.

Maybe this:

Exact videos I used when I had to remove both my driver/passenger door panels when I replaced my mirrors for power folding mirrors. Hardest part was realizing I needed to pull up on the door panel since there is a rubber type gasket that likes to hug the door. Just takes a little force but the guy shows it in the 2nd video by lifting up at the rear of the door panel when removing it.

Not a hard job at all on our cars. Just make sure you do NOT yank the door panel too far since all of the connections/ribbon cables are still attached.
