Hi, I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing or maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20-plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts installed correctly: that's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video, I'm going to show you power window switch replacement on the driver side on this 2003 Monte Carlo, basically the same for any 2000 to 2007, although I believe the '06 and '07 switches were a little different style, but the procedure should be the same. Tools you'll need are Phillip's head screwdriver, T27 Torx driver, flat blade screwdriver and a putty knife and a rag.
To remove the door panel, first you remove four screws: one Phillips here, a Phillips here and then there's two T27 Torx screws right up in here. Now, that you've removed those screws, you can pull out on this panel and then forward and it comes off. Then for your switch, you use a regular flat blade screwdriver and pry out on one side and pull the switch out some and then pull the whole switch and pry the other side. Now, you want to use a putty knife and a rag or paper towel or something just to protect the paint, work it back in here and then work it up into there. Once you get them on, this panel kind of actually pulls free pretty easily. Just pull around the outside edge. Lift up. Then your door panel is off. You still have your mirror and your power window connected here. Now, looking from behind, it's real hard to shoot this, but basically you want to work with the tab in the back of your connectors here. You want to work your screwdriver right up in there. You're going to pull. I can show you that afterwards here. Basically, what you're doing is right here is where the tab goes in. You're just working your screwdriver around there and work it in there to release that tab. These connectors you can see right there, that's what you want to be pressing in. Now, your door panel is off.
Now, you have the door panel off. This is the back of it. You want to remove these three screws here and then that plate comes off. Now, looking at the face of your door panel, there's a screw that goes right up in here. You can see that, but it's basically from the bottom of the door panel up into the handle here. That releases this bottom bezel out. To get the switch panel out here, basically you want to start at the back. I'm pushing it up and in and then there's this set of ribs here that kind of get in the way, so you push those up through. Then you push these remaining locking tabs up through. Basically, most of your switches are now up and out. Pull it up. It pulls up and out like that.
Then once you have this assembly out, it's pretty easy. There's actually little thumb tabs here that you loosen up and you pull the switch out just a little bit. Then just use the screwdriver to help yourself a little bit and pull. Pull up on that tab and release it and there's your power window switch out.
You can see the new power window switch from 1A Auto is the same, just as nice. It has all the same detailing on it and everything. It's going to hook up the same and everything. And you can tell when there are switches going bad rather than a window mode or something because you'll start feeling it in the mechanism. You won't feel the clicking as well. Mostly what happens with these switches is the insides, the plastic inside breaks and you basically will find sometimes, your windows won't work and will work and that's usually a symptom of the switch, not something inside the door. This original switch is fine. Obviously, re-installation is pretty easy. It goes up in there like that, pushes .in and this, it's a little hairy. You kind of put the thing back together. Then you can see that this screw here. You've got to force it down a little bit and then once it goes, we're in good shape. I'm just pushing right here. It actually goes underneath. That's back in. You can screw this bezel on. The bezel goes like that in there. Start your Phillip's screw. The final step of the car window switch is put this bracket back on and just use the three screws.
With that back together, now you're ready to put the panel back on. Now, at this point, we're just going to fast forward through putting the door panel back on. You can probably pick up enough just by watching the fast motion or if you do want to see this in regular motion, just check out our other videos for the Monte Carlo door panel remove and replace and be on that. Once you put the door panel back on, make sure you test everything. Make sure your windows are all working, your door locks and mirrors and everything like that and we hope this helps you out. Test everything, window, mirror, door locks, everything is good.

Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace a power window switch on this 2003 Chevy Monte Carlo. We show you on the driver's side, but the passenger side is the same procedure. The items you'll need for this is a new power window switch from 1AAuto.com, a flat blade screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver, a T25 Torx driver, and a putty knife.
Your door panel is held on with four screws. There's a Phillips screw here and a Phillips screw up here. Then down here, onto the pole handle, there are two T25 Torx screws. We'll just fast forward as Mike removes those. Pry out, behind this panel, the flat blade screwdriver, and then slide the panel forward and over the door handle. Then pry out on both sides of your door lock switch while pulling up on it. It should pull free.
There's an indent right here that you want to slide your putty knife into, and then just pry out on the clip. Then reach back behind the door panel and feel for the clips, and just pull out sharply to release the clips. Once you've release them all the way around, just lift the door panel up and then pull it back. Push the tab on this harness and pull it free. Do the same thing for this harness. Your door panel is free.
On the back of your door panel, you want to remove the three Phillips screws that hold on this plate. Now, in the front of the door panel, remove this Phillips screw. We'll just fast forward as Mike does this. That inside of your pull handle will pull down and out, and then you just want to push in this clip with a flat blade screwdriver, push up on the panel, and do the same here. Then this one can be a little bit more difficult, so just stick the screwdriver in there, push on it, and then pull the screwdriver out. Then do this tab on the other side of the switch. Just keep pushing it out and your switch panel will pull free.
Now, on the back of your switch panel, just pry out on these two tabs while applying pressure on the other side of the switch. Then just push back on these two tabs while pulling the switch free. Take your new switch and push it into the switch panel. Push the outside of the switch panel in first, then the front from the inside. Then push down the back of the panel last.
Replace the inside of your pull handle and that Phillips screw. Replace this plate and the three Phillips screws that hold it into place. To reconnect your door panel, just start off by reconnecting these two harnesses. Then just put this switch through here, then line up these slots with these four tabs, and just lift the door panel up, and push those slots onto the tabs. Then just make sure the clips are lined up and hit them into place along the sides of the door panel. Now, push your door lock switch back into this panel, slide the panel over your interior door handle, and slide it back into place. Then just replace those four screws, and you're all set.
