How to Replace the Window Switch in a Hyundai Santa Fe

Model: Hyundai Santa Fe MK 1 - Years 2000-2006
Part: Window switch

To replace the window switch in a first series Hyundai Santa Fe, you need to remove the door panel as shown in the attached tutorial. To remove the panel, start by unscrewing the screw inside the opening handle and the surrounding trim. Unscrew the screw inside the large grab handle and the screws around the perimeter of the panel, some of which are covered by plastic caps that need to be removed first, as shown in the video. Carefully pry the panel away using a flat tool and separate it from the door. Replacing the switch is straightforward as it is secured by two screws. Finally, reassemble everything by following the reverse procedure.
