It's not complicated but just tight quarters and you can't see the back of the switch, so it has to be accomplished by feel. That should do it, good luck.
I got my courtesy light to work now! Yeah! I started out trying to do it as you suggested. And as you said, it is very tight in there. So, I did it a different way. Which ended up to be much easier. I pulled the switch out of the A-pillar. Then I ran some wire down through the hole to fish the plug through. Retrieveing the wire, I taped the plug onto the end and pulled the plug back up through the hole. Made the connection to the switch. Put the switch back in the A-pillar. Took less than 3 minutes.
