My 93 Vandura's passenger side door handle (interior) is broken and I need to replace it. My question is, how do you remove the power window and central locking switches from the door?

But no need to do that if only replacing the interior door handle. | | | Re: 1993 GMC Vandura 2500: Interior Door Handle | Joined: Jul 2017 Posts: 11 stranger | OP stranger Joined: Jul 2017 Posts: 11 | Thanks for your response!
The door panel does not come out unless you take out the switch frame. I should have been clearer with my question. The switch frame prevents the door panel from being taken off, so I need to remove those switch frames before I can remove the door panel to access the interior door handle.

I had to reach into the opening with a finger and bend the tabs back straight to remove them. The tabs are soft metal and are easy to bend. Going back together, the frames are reinserted into the hole and the tabs re-bent to hold them for the switches to snap back in. Hope this helps. | | | Re: 1993 GMC Vandura 2500: Interior Door Handle | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 559 | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 559 | Yep just as Cat says ....

I can't figure out how to remove the switches from the frame so I can reach the metal clips on the frame itself. What do people usually use to post pictures on here? I have a picture of the switches that I'd like to show you guys. It may help you help me
