    having trouble removing door paneling on drivers side

    ive got everything snapped out and the door lock pin is not obstructing, but i cant remove the electronic mirror control switch situated inside the top of the armrest piece... ive tried pulling it but i dont think i should pull harder then i pulled to remove the rest of the paneling. how do i do this? (need to rewire somtehing thats why)

    the lock pin does obstruct it, you need to unscrew the plastic part of it (just literally unscrew the whole thing) and the wiring should pull out of the module, its just a connector. good luck

      Just pry it out with a flathead screwdriver. Comes out easily.

        yep. get a small flat head screwdriver and push it down somewhere around the switch and pry. It comes out real easy.
