1. Door Panel Removal:
* Remove the door handle bezel: This usually involves prying it gently with a trim tool or flathead screwdriver. There are typically clips holding it in place. Be cautious not to scratch the plastic.
* Locate and remove the screws: Once the bezel is off, you'll find screws securing the door panel itself. These are usually hidden behind the armrest, door pull, and sometimes under the pocket. Consult a repair manual specific to your year and model Camaro for the precise locations; they can be tricky to find.
* Disconnect the door panel wiring harness: After removing the screws, gently pull the door panel away from the door. There will be a wiring harness connected to the power window, lock, and mirror switches. Carefully disconnect the connectors.
* Remove the door panel: Carefully pull the door panel away from the door. There are usually clips holding it in place; gently work it free, being mindful of not breaking any clips.
2. Switch Removal:
* Access the switch: With the door panel removed, the power window and door lock switches should be visible. They are usually held in place with clips or screws.
* Disconnect the switch connector: Unplug the wiring harness connector from the power door lock switch.
* Remove the switch: Depending on how it's mounted, you may need to gently pry it out with a trim tool or carefully remove any retaining screws or clips.
3. Reassembly:
Reverse the process to reinstall the switch and the door panel. Make sure all the wiring connectors are securely plugged in and that the door panel is properly clipped into place.
Important Considerations:
* Repair Manual: A repair manual specific to your 1995 Camaro is highly recommended. It will provide detailed diagrams and instructions, making the process much easier and reducing the risk of damage. You can find these online or at auto parts stores.
* Trim Tools: Invest in a set of plastic trim tools. These will help prevent damage to the door panel and other interior trim pieces.
* Patience: Take your time and be patient. Rushing can lead to broken clips or other damage.
* Photography: Take pictures as you disassemble the door panel. This will be extremely helpful when reassembling it.
If you're uncomfortable performing this repair yourself, consider taking your Camaro to a qualified mechanic. Improper disassembly can cause damage to the door panel or electrical components.
