Left Passenger Door
**************
Tools: Small, Medium and Large Straight Screw Drivers
Philips Screw Driver, Short and Long
Wire Cutters
Soddering Pencil/Gun and Sodder
Electrical Tape or Shrink Wrap Tubing
Starting with the left passenger door, Grab a small Straight Screw Driver, and pop off the cap behind the door handle. Then use a Philips Screw Driver to remove the screw, now use a Straight Screw Driver to remove the holder that the switches sit in. Now remove the switches by pressing the small tab that holds the male end of the harness in. On the switch there two tabs that need to be pried with a small tipped Straight Screw Driver. Two Straight Screw Drivers are needed to open the switch. Once one of the sides on the switch has been pried open begin to pry the other side of the switch. But be careful that the switch doesnâ??t snap back shut. Once the switch is open the L.E.D.s can now be installed. A Soddering Pencil/Gun (pencil preferred), sodder, wire cutters will be needed.
To do the window switch cut the wire at the end of the original resistor and at the other end of the original L.E.D. bulb. Make sure to keep the circuit intact, so that it can be used for study if needed. Now there are four small tabs that will need to be cut off in order for the new L.E.D.s to sit correctly. Make sure to center it perfectly. Now begin to sodder the new 330 Ohm resistor and 3mm L.E.D. in the exact way that the one that was removed came out. If at any time the process is forgot, look at the circuit that was pulled out. It will refresh the mind and show how the original was installed. Once soddering is done, plug the window switch into the harness, and test to make sure the install was a success. If the install was a success, begin putting the window switch together. The first step is to make sure that the metal pieces inside the switch are put in properly. Hold the top half of the switch upside down and begin sticking the metal pieces in with the point, pointed up. Now, put the switch back together. This switch is now done.
To remove the Door Panel there are several screws, three screws are on the left side of the door (outer most part), one screws underneath, two screws on the right side, One screw in the door handle that is used to grab and close the door. Once all of this is done lift on the bottom of the door, and pull away from the door, then lift up. Now there is black insulator to keep the noise out of your car, find the spot where the green light shines through behind the door handle. Now remove the black insulator above where the green light shines through. Now pull the bulb holder out. Cut the wires about 1/2 inch so there is something to pull the prongs out to install the 5mm L.E.D. Remove all the old metal pieces inside the holder so that 5mm L.E.D. can easily fit in and install it. Add the resistor at the positive end of the L.E.D. (long wire or the side that isnâ??t flat on the actual L.E.D.) Turn car lights on to test the connection. If the light turns on, remember how itâ??s connected. Now sodder it on good then sodder the L.E.D. with resistor back to the wires that used to run to the old green light. Wrap each wire with electrical tape or shrink wrap tubing. Slip the holder back into place and begin putting the door panel back on.
Follow this by putting the switch back in and the door switch holder back on.
