How to replace a Dodge Ram 1500 2500 3500 Truck Passenger Side Regular Cab Power Window & Door Lock Switch?

1.Materials Needed

• Boxed end wrenches
• Cross tip screwdriver
• Electrical cleaner
• Flat tip screwdriver
• Lisle door tool
• Needle nose pliers
• Pocket flat tip screwdriver
• Ratchet w/metric and standard sockets
• Torque bit set

Park your vehicle on a flat, hard surface. Place wheel chocks around the rear tires. Engage the parking brake to lock the rear tires from moving. Install a nine-volt battery saver into your cigarette lighter. This will keep your computer live and keep your setting current in the vehicle.  Open the vehicle’s hood to disconnect your battery. Take the ground cable off of the battery’s negative post disabling the power to the power window switches.

2.Locate the Door with the Faulty Power Seat Switch & Pry Out the Locking Tabs

Using a flat tip screwdriver, slightly pry up all around the switch base or cluster. Pop out the switch base or cluster and remove the harness from the switch. Using a small pocket flat tip screwdriver, slightly pry on the locking tabs on the power window switch. Pull out the switch from the base or cluster. You may need to use needle nose pliers to help pull out the switch. Get electrical cleaner and clean out the harness. This removes any moisture and debris to create a complete connection.

3.Pop the New Power Seat Switch into the Door Lock Cluster

Ensure that the locking tabs snap onto the power window switch keeping it secured. Hook up the harness to the power window base or cluster. Snap the power window base or cluster into the door panel. You may need to use a pocket flat tip screwdriver to help the locking tabs slide into the door panel. Locate the door with the faulty power window switch. Remove the inner door handle. To do this, pry the cup-shaped plastic cover out from under the door handle. This component is separate from the plastic rim around the handle. There is a gap in the forward edge of the cup-shaped cover, so you can insert a flat screwdriver. Remove the cover, and underneath there is a cross tip head screw which must be removed. The plastic rim can then be removed from around the handle. Remove the panel on the inside of the door. Gently pry the panel away from the door all the way around.  Using a small pocket flat tip screwdriver, slightly pry on the locking tabs on the power window switch.

4.Place New Power Seat Switch

Pull out the switch from the base or cluster. You may need to use needle nose pliers to help pull out the switch. Get electrical cleaner and clean out the harness. This removes any moisture and debris to create a complete connection. Ensure that the locking tabs snap onto the power window switch, which keeps it secured. Hook up the harness to the power window base or cluster. Install the door panel on the door. Slide the door panel down and in towards the front of the car to ensure that the door handle is in place. Snap all of the door tabs into the door securing the door panel. Install the screws to secure the door handle to the door panel. Snap the screw cover in place. Open the vehicle’s hood if it is not already open. Reconnect the ground cable back to the battery’s negative post. Remove the nine-volt battery saver from the cigarette lighter. Tighten the battery clamp. Ensure that the connection is good. Remove the wheel chocks from the vehicle. Clean up your tools as well.
