remove the side panel off the door and u can unscrew it from the inside,the easiest way is to buy the switches off eBay (more economical) and replace them then,, remember to plug everything back before u put the panel back because the panels of caprice classics are a lil complicated to put on and take off.. well to me.

Hey Guys,

First, you have to take the horn cover off. There are two Phillips head screws behind the wheel. You'll need a medium size Phillips head. Next there is the horn connector wire... pry the little clip off and gently remove wire. Next you have to remove the little plate covering the mechanism... there should be three cover plate screws to remove. Unscrew the hazard switch and remove it. Next you should see the main steering wheel bolt holding the wheel in place. Use a wrench to remove it. You will probably need a steering wheel puller to remove the wheel. Use the side of the puller that has two parallel openings. Insert the supplied bolts through the openings. Next screw both bolts into the hold and put the main bolt through the center of the puller and make sure to place it firmly against the center of the hub. Gently turn puller until the steering wheel comes off. Next disconnect the covering plate and remove the obvious hardware. You'll now need a funky compressor tool that is the opposite of the puller. Screw the supplied suppressor onto the bolt that held the steering wheel. Next insert the compressor and basically compress it in the reverse direction using the threads against the U shaped compressor.

Now, remove the remaining Phillips screws, then disconnect the harness below the steering column and gently pull the wires out... being careful not to damage them. Replacing them is the reverse of install... Good Luck!

This might be hard to type, but it's simple. The panel with the switch on it, just grab the edges and pull up, it will just pop out. Once it's out, disconnect all the plugs from the back of it. Then, as your looking at the back of the switch, stick a flat head screwdriver in between the housing and the switch and apply a little pressure to the switch. You'll hear it pop, then do the same to the other side and it'll come out. I just changed mine last night in under a minute.

Do you mean for the door or the main switch on the driver's side? The main switch is very easy to replace... not sure about the door switches.

Well it depends on the year, however most common are "inhibitor switch" which is on top of the trans under the cooling hoses, American cars call then selector switchs or PRNDL switches, they kind of look the same. ALso they have problems with sensors inside the trans, some years you can replace them other times replace/overhaul the trans.
