You should not have to remove the kick panel!!  Just unscrew the switch and gently pull, you should be able to see the connection at the end of the switch!!

Yeppers....just unscrew them and pull out. However...IF the wire terminals have pulled out, or broken off, you will need to remove the kick panel to get to them, but they are right there....no searching. Thumbs Up

One tip before you get a surprise....disconnect the battery before you remove the pin switches. The switch body IS the ground for the system....sometimes, when unscrewing the switch(es), you can get a little spark/shock.....which can lead to more serious bodily damage by banging yer head on something. It can also cause some pretty bad werds to fly outta yer mouth....LOL

Boy you guys have been a great help. Replaced the door switches , was very easy, And everything works just like it should.The headlight switch turns them off and on like they should and and now also when you open the door and then shut it after 30 seconds everything turns off. Finally!! thanks for all the help. Ordered the switches yesterday and they came today, thanks again !!!!!!!!!!!!!
