Hi, the picture below may not be exact for your model, but designs are similar. There will be several bolts or screws, especially around the handle used to pull the door shut. These may be hidden by small plastic covers that you can pry out with a small screwdriver. If there are hidden or visible screws in the door latch recess, remove those also and the recess trim, if it comes out. Once all screws are out the remaining fasteners are either push-in types like the #3 in the pic (pull straight out to dislodge these--reach under the panel to pull closer to the fastener, if possible), or they may be hooks (along the bottom?) that you have to pull up on the panel to release. Once all fasteners are free, swing the panel out and up to get it off the window ledge. Disconnect all connectors by releasing the locking tabs and pulling off. The panel should now be free. There may be a vapor barrier on the door. Remove this carefully as needed to access the wiring. The tar will stick to anything, so be careful not you get it on good clothes. Also, the sheet metal of the door will scratch/cut your arms, so take care working inside the door. To replace the panel, always start by setting it on the window ledge and then swing down. If there are hook at the bottom, lift up slightly to engage and then let down again without letting the top of the panel slip off the window ledge. If you get stuck, please let me know. I can also help troubleshoot the circuits, if needed.

Welcome to Fixya
Disconnect the negative battery cable first to ensure your safety. You will see a small trim panel a few inches above the interior door handle (behind the armrest). Pry off the panel with the trim panel tool or a flat-head screwdriver. Remove the two 10 mm bolts that are behind the small trim panel. Pry off the vertical trim panel mounted on the handle that connects the power window controls and the door panel. Once the panel is removed, use the socket wrench to pull out the two bolts behind it. Pry off the small plastic piece around the door lock tab (upper part of door handle). Once the piece is removed, detach the door lock tab with your hand. Unfasten the sail panel using the trim panel tool or the flat-head screwdriver. The sail panel is on the corner of the door panel, directly across from the outside mirror. The panel is only attached by clips. Pull your interior door handle toward you, and pry off the trim panel behind it. Remove the bolt made visible with the panel removed. Pry up the power window control panel. Then unhook the electrical harness from the rear of the panel. Use the door trim tool to unhook the door panel clips. Insert the tool between the door panel and the door, and release the clips. There are several clips on each side of the door panel. Push the door panel up, then pull it away to remove it from the door.'
