Question
What holds the drive side Power window switches to the door panel.  None of the manuals I've looked at show or talk to whether it snaps in place or the door panel needs to be removed>  2003 Dodge RAM 1500

Answer
Remove the window crank, if equipped. (WINDOW CRANK REMOVAL TOOL)
Remove the interior handle. (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOOR - FRONT/INSIDE HANDLE ACTUATOR - REMOVAL)
Remove the screws at the mirror flag and near the inside handle. (TRIM PANEL ASSEMBLY)
CAUTION: Trim panel is attached to the door using hooks molded into the panel. Do not pull the trim panel straight off or damage to the panel and/or power switch assembly may occur.

Lift the trim panel up off the belt seal and attachment hooks and separate the panel from the door slightly.
Disconnect the power window switch electrical connector, if equipped, and remove the trim panel.
