brad` · 14-12-2007, 01:12 PM

I have a Series I AU Fairmont and the Power Window controls on the drive side vibrate hardcore, and one know how to take of the door trim ? i trided the four or five screws around the out side and its like it stuck near the door handle some where but no sure how it comes off.

lift the window controls UP (start from the front edge)

there is a screw directly DOWN in that hole

also behind the little circle just infront of the door handle

good luck

behind that circle thing just in front of the handle i dont have a screw, i got a bolt that needs a socket set to remove you mean that one ? also how do i take off the window controls? u mean the hole box thing, between the trim and the handle ? i tried a screw driver but i didnt want to force it off

yeah to take the actual door off u need to undo that bolt

its a 10mm

the power window controls(where the lil switches are to make hte window go up and down)
it just clips in with a metal spring clip thing.. just lever it up from the front i think it is.. may be the back .. its pretty hardy lil bugger so you shouldnt snap it

then just use flat head screwdrivers to pry the switches out (Theres little lugs that they clip into on the sides (you will see them once its out)

then the switches the selves clip onto the other bit the same way

then the metal rocker will be accessible.. this is what needs cleaning and underneath it (it gets carbon on it)

i ususally just scrape it off with a screwdriver coz its only carbon..
or you can get some CRC CO Contact Cleaner i think its called

carby cleaner works a treat
just take the switches fully out of the door and away from the electrics first
