Step 2: Pop the switch plate up by inserting the screwdriver under the rear of the plate, and then again in the front

Step 3: Unplug the wires going to the back of the switches, when this is done take the now loose switch assembly to a workbench or table - someplace that is small parts-friendly (there are several and you don't want to lose them). Please excuse my dirty Weathertechs - it isn't always that way.

Step 4: Use the same screwdriver to pop the assembly apart all around the seam where shown, be gentle and take your time. Also, don't gap it very far apart yet.

Step 5: Set the whole thing just like this once you have it popped loose all the way around, and lift the loose part away. This is done to ensure you don't lose any small pieces that we'll see momentarily.

Step 6: You should now have 3 pieces: the circuit board, a blue gasket, and the actual switches with all their little plungers inside

These little plungers are the small pieces that you'll be forever finding if you drop them and they scatter. (Ask me how I know)
