Unplug it and plug it back in. If it does OK, replace the plug. Or try to fix it.

The door panel is held in place mostly by clips. There will also be screws securing the panel. The screws are usually located in the door handle/the arm rest area. There may be 2-4 screws. Sometimes screws are located at the very bottom of the door panel; as well. Once screws are removed, pull on panel and the clips will release from the door and remain attached to panel. Once removed, you will see how it is held together and be able to reassemble it with relative ease
