Power Window Switch Installation.

I'm buying an '84 Z28 and its missing a power window switch for the passenger side window.

I'm going to get one off of ebay but i'm just wondering how hard it is to install a switch on my own (idk if it just plugs in or it requires work with wires and such).

Could anyone who has already installed a window switch or knows how to give me some feedback please?
Ive never had to do any of this type of interior work on my '88.
I just wanna know if this is a job I can do in my drive way or something I need to take it somewhere for.

Thanks

Stan

It just plugs in, you need to remove the shifter plate but it's a snap.

The actual switch just snaps into a female connector, just make sure you get the switch in the cut out on the console first and then plug it in from underneath. Be gentle because the plastic surrounding on the actual switch is prone to break easily.

I thought about that also, maybe he is doing it right and buying a new one with the print on it? I know I would rather buy new one with the print on it!

I was thinking of buying new ones just because the print is faded out on mine.

Smart move, nothing bugged me more to see all my resto done and look at my console and see faded switches
