Has anybody removed and replaced their DAIS without taking the door apart?
My interior lights flickered. I cured this by thickening the DAIS stops but this seemed Mickey Mouse, so I purchased (2) new DAIS's. The service manual says that you can remove the DAIS without taking the door apart. It says you remove the lower screw and replace it with a much longer screw. You then remove the upper screw. This will prevent the backing plate from falling down into no man's land inside the door. I did this and partially pulled out the switch but I couldn't get the connector to fit/squeeze out of the hole for the switch in the door. Has anybody accomplished this? How did you do it?

Even a new switch after awhile will end up the same due to self adjusting (retracting) design. Try pulling the plunger out a bit (trial & error deal), cut 1/8" vacuum hose (mine is about 1/8" long, I think), slit the side and fit over the plunger stem. This will lengthen the plunger and keep it that way.

Good advice from Yun. I have changed one the way you describe. If you want me to attempt again and video let me know.
Long screw keeps backing flange from falling in door. Ted |

Just like changing out the starter on a hot, Las Vegas summer day? :-) Great times! I just wanted to know if someone was able to remove the switch without taking the door apart. Evidently you succeeded. As far as video, I don't know if it's worth it. So I suppose if you have the time... For now, my "patch" is working fine. Thanks again, (The other) Ted Last edited by tf95ZR1; 01-15-2018 at 01:08 AM. Reason: Wanted 2 |
