It's easiest to just reach up behind the door panel as you take it off and unplug the connector. The switch is held on with spring clips and I think it's less risky(to do damage to the opening) to be able to depress the clips from behind rather than try to pop the switch loose from the front. At least that's my preferred method.

You don't need to take the door lock switch off to remove the panel. Once the panel comes off, the switch stays on the panel and you can reach behind the panel to pull the wire harness off it.
