Hi @cinlou111
Looking at the images of the door switches from the 2012 repair manual, (hopefully the same as the 2013 model) you just unscrew them and gently pull them out.
Be careful as there is power going to the switch so watch that you don’t accidentally blow the fuse if the wiring touches the body. Find the fuse (inner fuse panel dashboard - Room LP fuse) and remove it before removing the switch
Depending on the length of wire attached to the switch, don’t let the wire go back into the cavity when you disconnect the switch, it might be awkward to get it out again ;-)
