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 the power window switch the front driver side, which is the four window switch with the lockout button, and it's a pretty easy procedure. This is a 2003 Frontier, pretty much the same for any 2001 to 2004. Only tool you'll need is a Phillips screwdriver.

There is a Phillips screw right down in the door pull here, and we'll remove that. Then just pull up on the armrest pad and it just pops right off, and then pull up on the front side of the panel first. Pull it out.

Then just disconnect the two harnesses. There are tabs on them. You may want to use a small screwdriver to help press the tabs in. You can see, just use your thumb, press the tab in, pull out the harness. Again like I said, you may want to use a screwdriver just to help you press the tabs in, and then there are four screws that hold the switch to that panel, pretty easy, and remove those four screws. We'll speed up as we do that.

On the left is the original switch. These can get wet and then it'd stop working. See the new switch from 1A Auto, it's exactly the same. Everything is going to plug in exactly the same. Okay, I'm just kind of speed through reinstallation. Back to the panel with the four screws, plug it in. Snap the panel down into place, and then put the screw in that holds the door pull in place, and then the armrest pad again.
