    I would remove the door panel to get to it from underneath as the switch bezel is notoroious for breaking the retaining tab at the top (near the mirror adjustment). It is very thin plastic and WILL break if you cannot release the bottom edge clip gently. Been through 2 of them and even on the 2nd one I was gentle. I'm pulling the panel from now on. It's not hard and guarantees that I don't have to spend another $45 on a new bezel.

    The bottom clip is metal and is easy to see once you get the panel loose.

    Hey man thanks a lot. I was catching hell trying to pop it out without removing the panel. I have scratched up some paneling on my door with a screwdriver trying to pop it out and I'm not too happy about it either.

    Like Scottydoogs said its gotta be that master switch causing the problem. Especially if it has a child lock out.

    There is a relay in the fuse box inside the car that is labeled RAP. Does anyone know what that stands for? It is now making a loud buzzing sound when I plug in my Power window circuit breaker.

    I was able to get to the switch easily by pulling the panels off. Thanks for the tip.
