2014 Laramie, I think the left switch is going out, have to press hard to get it to respond. Can I pry it out and replace or do I need to pull the wheel off to replace? thanks!

You might be able to pry it out. I think they snap in from outside in not inside out if I remember right

If it’s just the switches on the back of the steering wheel, they just pop out. Use a small screwdriver.

Here is my update. Switch popped out easily with jeweler's screwdriver however, at least on my truck on the left hand side switch, there isn't enough wiring beyond the switch connector to easily unplug/plug in the connector. I messed with it for a few minutes to see if there was a trick to get some slack. MAYBE if you have a couple pairs of needle nose pliers you could get at it.....but need surgeon hands.

There was plenty of wire to use butt connectors so that's what I did. Switch is working good.
