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 remove and replace the passenger side door panel on this 2003 Mercury Mountaineer. The only tools you'll need for this is a flat blade screwdriver and a 7mm socket and ratchet.
Start off by prying out on this panel. Then just slide it off the door handle. Then lift up on the front of your switch panel and just slide it forward. Then push the tabs on the harnesses to disconnect them. Now remove this 7mm bolt and these two 7mm bolts down here. We'll fast-forward as Mike does that. Now just lift the door panel up and then pull it back, and it's free.
You've got a number of hooks on the door panel that go into slots in the door. If you've removed your water shield for any reason, you just want to make sure it's all lined up. You can put the bottom ones on too and then just make sure your harnesses come through. Then push the door panel in and make sure it's in on the front, back, and top. Push it down, and then reinstall the three 7mm screws.
We'll fast-forward as Mike replaces those 7mm bolts and tightens them up. If you have difficulty starting one of the lower ones, you'd just do the other one first, and it should help the other one line up.
Plug in your switch panel. Going to put the back down in first. We'll press them down, push it in. There's a little slot that comes down that this actually hooks into. Put this in first, make sure those back tabs go in, and make sure it snaps in the place.
