Default Drivers Power Window Switch Panel Removal?

Okay...how do you get the connectors off of the power window switch panel? How do you get the four switches out of the bezel?

I have not been able to get the two connectors off, or get the switch panel out of the bezel either.

At first the driver's window stopped working....now now of the windows work.

And lastly where is the fuse for the power windows at? Thought it was under the hood.

Thanks guys

NEVERMIND......found the 1A Auto video that showed how to get the blasted connectors off and the the switch panel out of the bezel.

At first the driver's window would just stop in either direction....wait a few seconds and then it would go a bit more...and so. So thought it was the motor going out. But then lost ability to control any window from the driver's door switch panel and none of the door switches would work.....ahhhhh....must be the switch.

So I have it out...and I took it apart to find that each switch electrical contact is by twisting a tab against the metal circuit board...seriously???..you have got to be kidding me!!

Looks like time for a new switch panel.....

Had nothing to loose, so I just cleaned all the contacts where the switch terminals meet the metal circuit board along with the connector contacts.

Re-installed and all is good. So saved myself $50 - $60 for now anyways.....well actually the savings just goes toward paying my taxes......!!!!!!!

I have a similar issue. All of my windows work from the drivers door, but not from any of the other doors. I might take the lock switch apart and clean it out.
