How to remove door panel to gain access w/out damaging panel?

The door module for that door is actually located inside of that door. You have to remove the door panel to gain access to it. Each door has it's own module on your car;)

The door handle assembly may have just come loose from the door. It is attached from the inside and is accessed by removing the inner door panel. Removing inner door panels is usually not that difficult once you find out how they are attached. The first thing to do is locate any screws that are visible and remove them.(usually phillips head) I usually remove the ones along the bottom of the panel and then look for any hidden screws on the bottom of the armrest. If the door has electric windows then it might be necessary to remove the window switch to gain access to any remaining screws. Next, use a flat blade screw driver to pry the door panel away from the door. You can wrap the screwdriver with tape to avoid damage to the painted surface. The door panel is held on to the door with press fit pins which are reusable. Once the panel is removed, you should be able to repair anything that is needed.
