Can't figure how to remove right rear door panel on 2001 Pontiac

Need exploded view of right rear door panel removal for 2001 Pontiac Bonneville. Can't get to inside to see why electric window won't work.

Answer This Question
  • srenee777 Jan 28, 2009

    Dear Heapful, I got all the plastic holders unplugged and the top of panel off but the very center of the panel is very secured and there are no screws visable from the interior side of panel. I call myself an advanced shade tree mechanic. I don't mess with any computerized things but anything else it's a go. I'm thinking maybe go to the Library to see if I can get the GM Exploded view of a 2001 Pontiac Bonneville Right rear door. I tried O'rielys for a manual But Haynes sold out to Chilton and Chilton uses a completely different model car for illustration and the fron Dr. side door which is totally useless for my make and year. Thank you again very much and God Bless you all, Faryle

These are bad about those Cable operated window devices .. If it is bad get on ebay and get one ordered its your best bet.. Just take a flat screwdriver and go around the bottom of the door panel and pop it loose and up the sides .. there might be a hidden screw or two in the middle around the handles.. good luck ..

    Are you sure there are no screws under or inside the door handle ? if not try lifting the panel upward to see if it sets in a pocket to hold it . also pull handle out tword you and look in there to see if a 10 mm bolt is behind there also. got to be a way to release it . sounds like you are in for changing out one of those cable operated window regulators ? Remember ebay when you buy one they are alot cheaper than GM for sure. Jerry

Where do you start to remove rear door panel on a 2001 pontiac bonneville?
You should first look at the underside of the arm rest...this needs to be removed before the panel...usually 2 phillips head screws...then gently pry the panel on the bottom...GM uses several push in plastic clips to hold the door panels in place...if yuou damage any of these...they are available at most parts stores in the "help section"...Hope this works for you:)

How do you change a blend door actuator on a 2003 GMC Yukon. Need to know where it is located and how to get to it.
Locks & Lock Systems
Power Door Locks

Diagnosis & Testing
  1. Check the fuses for the door lock circuit. Verify there is 12 volts at the fuse terminal. If voltage is not present, check the wiring.
  2. Remove the door trim panel of the affected door.
  3. Unplug the connector to the door lock actuator. Connect a test lamp across the terminals of the harness.
  4. Verify that the light illuminates briefly in both the lock and unlock positions of the switch.
    1. If it does not, there may be an open/high resistance or a short to ground in the wiring. If the wiring is OK, the IP fuse block is faulty.
    2. If it does illuminate and the lock actuator still does not work, the actuator is faulty.
