Does anyone have instructions for removing the drivers side door panel? I thought I would ask before I start removing it. My window seems to have a slight "catch" when going up or down. I'm assuming it has something to do with the power window linkage.

Thanks.

Hey.. I just did this yesterday to find the wiring colors for my aftermarket keyless entry.

- unscrew the door lock knob.
- at the inside door handle, with a small flat head, pop off the 2 plastic tabs behind the grab, unscrew those 2 screws. Same thing to the inside door latch, tab and 1 screw behind it. Then carefully go around the perimeter of the door panel and pop off the plastic anchors (I used a plastic putty knife to slide between the panel and door) Carefully lift up the door panel over the door lock knob. This gives you access to the 4 electric connections behind the door panel, unsnap these and remove the hook wire from the door latch and youre done. Reverse to reassemble. DONT FORGET TO REATTACH THE HOOK WIRE. I completely missed it the first time. :(
