Ever since I have owned my car my child safty locks are always on, my switch regardless of when I flip it doesnt affect it, I am the only one with controls for the windows, also I have taken out two screws to take the switch out and make sure it didn't become disconnected but I cant get it out for some reason I looked at it for like 1 hr.

I believe you have to remove the door panel for access to switch panel.[not sure never had to, hopefully someone else has had a power window problem and can enlighten both of us]

You are talking about the "window lock" switch right? When you say "child lock" switch, it refers to the child lock safety switch which is located on the back side of the rear doors that (when locked) keeps the rear doors from being opened from the inside.
I think you will need to remove the door panel to get to the window lock switch. I removed my front door panels to replace my speakers up there. The panels are not hard to remove, but just be careful that you don't break them. I got the info to remove them at V8sho.com listed under front speaker replacement. There are just a couple of screws where the door pull is and then right behind the inside latch there is a small oval shaped plastic trim piece that has to come off, go easy with that, it will break easily,(use a small scewdriver to pry it loose). Also remove the one screw at the top of the midrange/tweeter speaker, then the rest is all push pins behind the panel, start with the bottom rear of the panel and go along the bottom then up the front, then up the back of the panel.
Hope that any of this is helpful.

See if this works or maybe I did this backwards, not very computer literate on my part (sorry)

If you go to V8sho.com and scroll down to the bottom of the page, there is a search feature. type in Door panel removal, after the page loads (it will actually be the same page you were at) scroll down and there will be a list of topics, the one I found to be the most detailed about door panel removal is the one about removing front door speakers (which I tried to link from here)
Good Luck with your problem.

Here dude, I dd a copy/paste from v8sho.com....

....It is outlined in manuals like Chilton's, but if you don't have one handy, here's a brief recap:

1. Lower the window. You can do this with the window up, but it's easier with the glass out of the way. I know, I did it the hard way. I always do.

1. Remove the sail panel tweeter cover - first take out the small bolt at the top front then lever it rearward to remove.

2. remove the small half ellipse plastic plate from behind the interior door handle. If I recall the bottom snaps out easily, then pull it forward and down to release the top. Be careful - it appears to be easy to break.

3. remove the screw from the bottom of the door pull pocket

4. pry the door panel loose along the bottom and rear and front edges. Seems to be easiest if you do it in that order. I strongly recommend a panel pulling tool (looks like a big slot screw driver with a bend in the shaft and a forked tip). You do not want to break a door panel and the gen III Tauri panels are a real bear to remove. The panel clips are about 1 1/2 inches in from the door panel edges and I believe there are 11 total, about 3 per edge give or take one. Buy some fresh ones - you'll need to replace them as they are a single use fastener. About $3 for 10 at any auto supply house.

One note: Put a rag or rubber pad under the pry tool, otherwise you'll scratch the visible painted surfaces of your door.

4. After releasing the bottom and rear edges, reach up into the door and disconnect the power window and lock switch plugs. I believe they have a small tab on the side which you depress, then just pull firmly on them. Wiggling them a bit helps.

5. To finish the door panel removal, grab it by the front and back edges and pull it up and toward you. This will release the three front trim clips. Some amount of fussing, wiggling and twisting might be needed to persuade all three to release.

6. The speaker itself is easy - four small bolts and a clip on connector on the back.

As they say in the manuals " assembly is the reverse of the above procedure". don't forget to use fresh clips.
