Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace a door lock switch on this 2001 Volkswagen Beetle. We show you on the driver side, but the passenger side is the same procedure and the items you'll need for this is a flat blade screwdriver, a T20 Torx driver, and a Phillips screwdriver.
Start off by prying off this panel on your pull handle, and behind that, there are two Phillips screws. Just go ahead and remove both of those. At the bottom of the door panel, there are three T20 Torx bolts. Go ahead and remove those three. Now, you want to just pull out on the panel, just around the edges, and any screws that you loosened up all the way but wouldn't pull out entirely, they will fall out now, so just keep an eye on where they go. When all the clips are free except the top of the door panel, you just want to reach up here and pull it out of the track and pull it forward.
On the back of your door panel, you'll see a bunch of harnesses. Just push the tab and pull the harnesses free. Then, for your door handle cable, just pull it out of the bracket and then unhook it. You can just disconnect this harness for your door lock. For these two larger harnesses down here, you just want to pry it and free with a flat blade screwdriver. Just push the tab on this harness and disconnect your courtesy light.
Flip your door panel over and pry out on either side of the door lock switch while applying pressure from the other side and it pulls out. Take your new door lock switch and just push it down into place.
To reinstall your door panel, just reconnect each of those harnesses. Then re-clip your door handle cable and just push it back into that bracket and make sure you reconnect your courtesy light. Now, put the door panel back into the track and then just push it down. Then, just hit in the clips around the edge of the door panel and then replace those three T20 screws and the two Phillips screws in the pull handle. Just replace that panel and hit it into place and you're all set.
