I haven’t done one on that particular vehicle, but the principle is generally the same on most vehicles. Get a good trim tool and a phillips head screwdriver, carefully remove the panel, etc. It’s not rocket science. I would like to add though that I would test the solenoid’s power and ground before I condemned it bad. I haven’t priced ’em, but I would get a wiring diagram and do a little testing before I threw the part in. It’s more than likely back if it’s a common failure and neither switch operates the lock, but just throwing it out there. I would be careful about how you test it, as there is probably a body control module that receives a request from the switch and tells the lock solenoid which way to move. You don’t want to fry that puppy.

That’s Eric’s video on replacing a window run channel. I linked it so you can get an idea what removing the door panel will be like, and what to expect once you have it off at least.

Here’s another where he replaces some clips to fix a power window in a Saab.
