Twist the air vent to unlock it, gently pull away the dash liner and you can get access via the hole you will see where the door stay is behind the liner. use a bit of bent copper wire to fish for it. Should be one wire with a bullet connector

unscrew the outer ring then a quarter turn on the air vent should see it pop out.(if you have a dash)
