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 rear power window switch on this 2003 Mercury Mountaineer. We show you on the driver side, but the passenger side is the same procedure. The items that you'll need for this include a new power window switch from 1AAuto.com and a flat blade screwdriver.

Now pry out on this bottom panel. Then just pull out to release the clips and slide it off the door handle. Pull this forward and then up on the front and slide out the back. Then just push the tab on this harness and disconnect it. Pry out on the side while applying pressure from the same side, and then do it again from the other side while lightly pulling up on the switch. Then pull free.

Here's our new one and our old one, and you can see what happens to these things a lot. This one's not too bad, but it's got spillage from various fluids. The new one is going to go right in.

To go in, there's a little line up tab right here that goes into this slot.

Reconnect your harness, then feed in the back tab first, and then push the front down and into place. If you have some difficulties with it, just make sure your harness is out of the way. Then take the back panel, slide it over the door handle, and feed those back tabs in place and push in the front clips.
