You have to take the trim panel off of the inside of the tailgate. Not just the removable section across the middle, but the whole thing. There are a series of screws that hold the tail light assembly to the back of the tailgate. You need to undo all of the nuts on the inside to release the tail light assembly, and be sure to unplug the harness as you remove it. The pressure switch is bolted behind the tail light assembly. Once you have the assembly out of the way, just fish the plug for the switch down and out with the switch. Change the switch and put it all back together.

If the drivers door on a 1989 Accord will not open but everything appears to be connected how can you get the door open to replace the latch?
I have dealt with this problem before at our bodyshop. Basically, a spring inside the latch has broke, and now there is no way to release the latch, even by manually pulling on the release lever at the latch. Prepare to replace the latch, as it is not repairable. Be prepared to be working inside the car. To make it easier to work, unbolt the seat, and remove from the car. Remove the door panel, and also the door handle. You will have to chisel at the plastic part of the latch, and break it off bit by bit. Eventually you will be able to release the latch. good luck

96 Honda Passport rear window wont close?
I have a 1995 that had the same problem. Turned out that the relay for the dashboard release switch was binding and holding the latch open so that it couldn't close. I just disconnected the cable from the relay to the latch. Can't use the dash mounted release, but the window now closes. Hope this helps. I have a 1995 that had the same problem.
