How do you get the drivers door panel off - Cars & Trucks

Not to my knowledge. The mechanism you talk about is the wiring inside the door if it has electric locks. The only way is to remove the top of the door panel to access the door latch mechanism then slide it away from the latch. If that don't work let me know

Trim and molding remove tool and a phillips screw driver
Drivers Side

Remove
Door trim panel and water shield (top where window is)
Plastic panel around door handle. snaps out
1 screw upper front extension assembly (plastic triangle)
2 screws located lower bottom left (drivers side) and door trim panel
Use remove tool to push out retaining 'C' clip behind door handle
Grasp panel where opening are and pull up and out gently
Now disconnect wire harness

There two common problems with the driver's door control panel, rain water gets into the module and damages the electrics or the wires in the door boot break or abrade and short out. To check out the control panel itself, take the passenger side panel and hook it up to the drivers side, if everything works, replace the driver's panel.

DOOR PANEL REMOVAL

Its just fitted with few screws and hidden lock clips. The clips are very delicate and can break easily. But no worry, the clips are easily available.

On some vehicle models these screws are hidden. Once the panel is loose, don't just pull it out, there are few wire connectors connected, first disconnect the connector plug, then lift the panel out and keep in safe place for re-installing.

Remove the driver door panel. You will have to remove the two screws that hold the door closing strap and the one screw behing the interior driver door handle. Gently pull the door panel off by first lifting the panel over the manual lock/ unlock nipple/ shaft. The module is located at the top right corner of the driver door.

most likely the inner door handle has a broken hooking tab for the rod to the latch plate.most door panels are held in place with a few screws around the door pull handle and arm rest than most of the sides and bottom of the door panel are held by plastic snap clips. with a large straight blade screw driver start at a corner of the door panel , slide the blade of the screw driver under the edge of the panel and lightly pry out untill you lossen up one of the clips than slide along the screw driver to the next clip , keep going till the panel is lossened up.

is it electric windows? if it has electric windows does the passenger window roll up using the switch for it on the passenger door panel? if it works on the passenger door panel and not on the driver's door panel , then your switch on the drivers door panel is bad... replace it.
