Driver's Door Window/Lock Control Panel

[Guest arbmaced]

HELP! When I use my window buttons the whole panel pushes down. It has broken loose somehow and I need to get in there to secure it. I thought it might pop off but I tried to pry it loose with no luck. How can I get in there to secure my power window/lock panel? Thanks for the help!

I don't know what year your truck is, but on my '95 the switchplate pops right off. You can try taking the whole door panel off and taking a look from the inside.

Yep.....Wheelman is right. If it's a 94, or 95 or even down to 91 (I think) it will pop off. The switch assembly is 2 pieces, with the top part that you see in your door being one, and the rest of the assembly being the other. There's 3 screws that hold the 2 together. They've probably stripped. You can either get thicker screws, or use something as a shim, jam it in the hole, and put the screw back in. That'll give the screw something to bite on to.

 

Good luck.

yup but you can't get to it from inside the pannel though. it's closed off from tha side by the way it's made. should pop right off, might have to "slide" it some.
