Dodge Repair: Door Panel Removal - 2005 Durango, switch assembly, switch panel

Question
I need to replace a speaker and I need to know how to go about removing the driver's side front door panel.  I know there are all sorts of plastic clips in there and I don't want to break something.  Help ... Tired of waiting for my husband to "get around to it" so would just like to do it myself.  Thanks in advance.

Answer

REMOVAL




Remove the screws (5 & 7).
CAUTION: Trim panel is attached to the door using hooks molded into the panel. Do not pull the trim panel straight off or damage to the panel and/or power switch assembly may occur.

Lift the trim panel up off the lock rod (4) and attachment hooks and separate the panel from the door slightly.
Disconnect the electrical connectors (1).
Disconnect the inside handle actuator rod (3) and remove the trim panel (6).




Remove the switch panel (1) if necessary.
