Doorjam Switch Arrghhhh

Chevyguy · 01-23-2002, 12:40 PM

Help!! I was changing my drivers doorjam switch, it spun while I unscrewed it from the car, it had to spin back to remove it, and the connector popped off and fell inside!!! How can I get inside there!!! I can try to fish it out but I figure this must have happened to someone else here.

Nobody has dropped the connector in the kick panel

I'm not lookig forwards to spending a hour with a wire trying to hook on to the wire

Take the plastic kick panel cover off. There should be a hole that you can stick your fingers through (if you got real small hands) or maybe get a pair of needle nose pliers through. Just so you know its a pain in the butt, but it can be done.
