Hi Roberta, here's the instructions on how to remove your door panel. I have to wonder though on why you are removing it, my guess is you window doesn't roll up or down and your replacing the regulator. Any way here goes.
REMOVAL
Remove the plug and remove screw attaching door pull cup to inner door panel.
Remove switch bezel and disconnect power window/memory switch.
Remove screws attaching trim panel to door from below map pocket.
Remove the clips in the inside of the window handle,also clips on door handle.Look for any screws holding the door panel on, then take a screwdriver and pry the door panel away from the door. re install the window handle,and try rolling the window down. You will probably see what is stopping it.
If it looks like the window regulator is worn out, check the local junk yards for a replacement.
I guess you mean goes down when you press the electric button down and theres no sound orpower to go back up if you pust the button for down again it'll try to go down, but not up. If this is the case the window switch has failed, as long it's the window in the drivers door.
no.. common concern.. back handle breakes becausr of bad latch.. remove back panel from inside.. gain acess. will be able to open from there.. replace handle latch or both
there is plastic snaps that attatch the panel to the door all the way around the panel which you can buy a tool to remove the panel without breaking the snaps,the door handle may have a cable hooked to it that releases the latch and it might be stretched causing the handle to pull hard
Both above answers are not right... I just replaced the Pass side power mirror assembly on my 97 Expedition. No heat, no directional. The inside door panel must come off. 1. pry off interior triangular plastic trim piece inside of door at mirror area. Remove door panel screw at this area. 2. Pry off power window switch panel and remove door panel screw at this area. 3.Remove interior door light cover and remove screw at this area. 4. Remove plastic cover at door handle. 5. The interior door panel can now be lifted up to release it from it's fasteners. 6. Disconnect light and push power window switch assembly through the door panel and it can be set aside. 7. Disconnect mirror power at coupler. 8 Loosen three mirror mounting screws with 7/16 socket. DO NOT unscrew completely.. the will fall down the door cavity. Use a round magnet on holder to remove the screws completely. 9.Thread electrical connection into door panel and install mirror. 10. Smile when mirror works and drink a beer! rayman
