Default Driver's Side Door Panel

How do I get the door panel off? Have a power window that doesn't work and need to get in there and see if I can figure it out. I do believe it's not the relay, checked that by putting a new one in and still window does not work? Any other suggestions on what to check? Thanks for any help.

You have to take the thing up top by the window off, then the triangle piece, then by the handle there is a little circle thing, pop that off, unscrew your door handle, and then the panel is on clips.

okay, you get a screw driver and at the bottom of the door panel you take those screws out then get a clean microfibre towel and a flat head screw driver and use the rag to protect the plastic on the door then their is a slot under the handle cover pop it in then take that part off. then theres another screw behind the handle you will need to pull the handle as if you were opening the door then you should see a screw you take that out then theirs a tab that you need to pull back then to get the window controls off you put some pressure on it and push it forward after that you grab the panel by both sides and push it up. then disconnect the switches and remove the door light bulb out of the panel then you reverse all of that to put it back together. if not theirs always youtube good luck

also the strange part is the window rolls up and down today. I can still hear the relay click when I roll the window down, but no click on the up roll. So I guess the motor is good , could it be a loose connection?

Might be a bad connection in the switch I have to push my up button hard to get it to roll up it goes down fine but if I just push it normally to go up it won't roll up

Then you have the same truck I do. Take the cover located on the pillar right behind the window off. A pry tool makes this a lot easier. You'll see a single phillips head screw; remove it. The cover behind the door handle comes off also, and there should be a screw behind it you must take off also. Pop off the window switch cover (start from the front of it) and push it through the hole. After that, pull up on the panel, and it should come right off. Easy as pie.
