Disconnect the battery ground cable. For additional information, refer to Section 414-01.
Remove the window switch plate.
Disconnect the electrical connectors.
CAUTION: Use care not to damage the trim panel covers. Open the screw covers.
You'll need to remove screws that are by the door handle,
arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the
panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want
to break them. If needed, you can pull back the weather seal
(can't reuse it, but it's not that important) and you will be able to
access everything inside the door
