1 hour using Pelican technical article as a guide.
need 8 mm 12 point (known also as tripple square or spline drive) to remove the two screws holding the door mechanism.

Just another note to all. My interior lights dont come on when the drivers door is opened either. Every 5 or 7 times I open the door the lights come on and the window goes down like it should. Seems like a short to me. Do I still need to replace the microswitch?
