Question
How do you remove the drivers side, inside door panel to get access to the power window motor and switch?
Thanks,

Answer
Hi Les,
These are the steps;
Remove the plug and remove the screw attaching door pull cup to inner door panel
Remove switch bezel and disconnect power window/memory switch
Remove screws attaching trim panel to door from below map pocket
Remove screw holding door trim to door panel from behind inside latch release handle
Disengage clips attaching door trim to door frame around perimeter of panel
Lift trim panel upward to disengage flange from inner belt molding at top or door.
Tilt top of trim panel away from door to gain access to latch linkage
Disengage clip attaching linkage rod to inside latch release handle
Separate linkage rod from latch handle
Disconnect the power door switch, courtesy lamp electrical connector.
Install is approximately the reverse, except you begin by reconnecting the latch mechanism while holding the trim panel up to the door, and then reattaching the trim panel to the door. Then follow the reverse.
There is a figure that shows the latch parts. I can xerox and postal mail you the page if you will respond with a postal mailing address.
