Didn't actually see that this had been run into by anyone yet, but I recently had to replace my armrest window switches. Mostly just putting this here in case anyone else has to deal with it.
A few weeks ago, the rubber coating on my window switches started to come off (switches still worked perfectly fine, mind you), and given that it was under warranty, I figured I'd just wander over to the local stealership and make them do it.
Only to find that they were booking a month out, and anticipated it would take "a couple of days" to replace it once they got ahold of the truck.
After checking with the parts dept, since I figured it wasn't something they'd readily have in stock, I just ordered it, because get this, it's $31. Finally something that doesn't have bronco tax!
So here's the switch assembly, and of note, is that it's got an updated part number and doesn't seem to have the same style of coating on it (maybe just a '21 thing?)
Anyways, here's the goodies:
Pry up on the side of the housing to release the clips (they're in line with the switches themselves vs on all four sides):
Pull the harness off the back of the assembly, and then pry up on these four clips on each side of the housing, gently. handy dandy pocket knife was perfect for this:
Then just snap the new one back in place, plug the harness back in and press it back into the armrest and off you go.
For those curious, here's the part numbers for each to be able to order from your local parts counter if need be:
