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 reinstall the rear door panel on this 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis. Pretty much the same as any '98 to '02 Grand Marquis, and similar for other years it's probably similar for the Ford Crown Victoria as well. The only tools you'll need include a flat blade screwdriver and a Phillips screwdriver.
You will use a flat blade screwdriver and come on in here, carefully pry this up, right up here, and you pull it right out. Then you'll need a Phillips screwdriver, just carefully remove these two Phillips screws. Use your flat blade screwdriver and go right in here. You can see a tab on the side, pry up, and pull down on one side. Turn it over, same thing right over here pry up. Now you want to use your flat blade screwdriver and pry down on the top of this bezel and then it comes out.
Then there's two covers here, just pry up the bottom. Use the bottom, that way if you accidentally scratch something you're less likely to show. Now there are four screws. Phillips screws are removed here, here, and then one down here. Just speed up the film here as I remove those four Phillips screws. Once those screws are out, lift up on your panel. You have to kind of shake it a little bit to get it out, and then pull your switch through. Now it's off.
Put the panel back in, make sure you feed your switch through the hole in the insulation here. The clips just go right into the door in place. Make sure that your lock button goes up and in. Push it against the door and down and on. Pull your switch through. I'll speed up again as I put the four screws back in. The two longer screws are the ones that go way down at the bottom and right under the door handle. Then the kind of shorter fan had screws go into the door pole. Fast-forward again as I put the Phillips screws in and tighten them up for the switch.
