In this video we're going to show you how to replace the master power window switch on this 2014 GMC Terrain. Pretty much the same for any Terrain of this vintage and you really only need a flat blade screwdriver. We do remove the door panel; you don't have to remove the door panel. You can just pry up on the trim panel that the switch is in and then disconnect the harnesses and remove the switch. Start off using a pick to remove this little panel behind the door handle and there's another panel right here. Again just pry it off. Next remove this 7mm bolt. Remove these two 8mm bolts.
Once those are removed you can pull out along the edge of your door panel to release the clips. Then pull your door panel up and off. On the back of your door panel you want to release your door handle cable and to do that you want to pry up the end of this clip and pull back and then pull it forward and then up and out. Next pull this harness from the door panel and then push on the tab and pull the harness. To release this harness you want to push on the two tabs on the bottom and then pull that handle back and your door panels free. On the back of your door panel you want to disconnect the two harnesses on the bottom of your switch panel by just pushing on the tabs and pulling the harnesses free. Now on the front of your door panel using a flat blade screwdriver or a pry tool. Just carefully pry up your switch panel.
Once you have it lifted you want to pry it back and then it'll pull up and out. Using a flat blade screwdriver and a pick tool or two flat blade screwdrivers, whatever you prefer pry out on the four clips on each side of the switch pack while pushing on it from the top and it'll pop out. Then take your new switch pack and push it into place. You want to angle your switch panel down, put the front down first and then it'll slide down into place. You have to twist it a little bit and now you want to push those clips back down into place. Reconnect those two harnesses to your switch panel. To reconnect your door panel push the harness into place, push that handle down and then push this harness into place. Take your door handle cable, push it down into place, pull it back and then slide that clip back on. Now put your door panel up over the lock rod and down into the window sill. Once you have it lined up hit the clips in around the edge of the door panel. We'll just fast forward as Don replaces those two 8mm bolts and the one 7mm bolt behind the door handle and then replaces those two plastic panels.
