I have a '96 LX. The window lock function broke and only the driver can power down the windows. I'm assuming the selector switch is broken. How hard is it to take the door skin off and replace the switch? I don't know how much $ the new switch is from Ford, maybe I could get one out of a junker?

The switch should be fairly easy to replace.... Just take off the panel.... and.. well I dont know all the steps, I've never needed to replace mine.. I wouldn't buy the switch from Ford though, they jack up the price. I'd say get one from a junked one, or on ebay.

it is an easy job, not complex, more of a pain in the a** than anything.

there are some plastic tabs holding the door trim in place, be ready to buy some new ones, the old ones don't hold well once ripped out.

i would buy the clips at ford tho the ones u buy at an auto store usually comes with assorted and not the ones you will ever ....

there are some tabs holding the door panel on and mabey a couple screws in the panel. remove the screws and start pulling on the panel. The panel should come loose. Then I belive the part you need is just pluged in by a wiring harness. A true plug and play part. The part should be fairly reasonably priced at a junkyard. If its not that it could only be a fault in the wiring. Good luck.

Buying the plastic clips from the dealer is the way to go. I learned the hard way. Went to auto zone for the clips and wasted my money on the clips they sell, the plastic is different and breaks off when I was replacing the panel.
