Main switch on driver side, removed it from panel but the wire is long and goes behind the panel i guess.

Hello,

You will have to remove the door panel to get to the window switch connector.
One thing to keep in mind, in cold temperatures the clip on those doors break easily. You should be fine if you are inside a heated garage.

I have attached the switch and the door panel removal steps below.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
