My lil alarm light thing on the door has been kinda broken for a while now. The small light bulb still blinks red, but the whole plastic cover thing has been loose ever since I got my car. I just figured out I can still fix it, but I need to remove the inner driver's side to do so. Can anybody help me out? Thanks.

 

1) Open the door and then pull out the plastic clip that is hidden when the door would be closed (all the way to your right). (Note: This might be easier if you lower the window first)

2) Using a Phillips, remove the screw that is being covered by a plastic piece below the window lock (the screw goes into the panel).

3) Remove the last screw that is being covered by a plastic piece inside the door grip (the screw goes down looking from a bird's-eye view).

4) The only thing left holding your panel to the frame now are about 10 "invisible" plastic clips, gently go around the panel pulling it towards you to unclip each one.

5) Finally, lift up the panel up and out to remove it.

Note: Putting the panel back in was a bitch, I scratched up the plastic "triangle" cover piece...

If I'm missing anything, please fill it in.

 

When putting it back in, take off the triangle peice, it jsut pops back in, and pop in the side closer to the engine first, it'll be a bitch, but use force But dont push too hard

 

Don't forget to take the interior door handle back plate out (by sliding it forward and out).
And, you need to unplug all the electrical contections before pulling the door panel away from the door.

 

Haha thanks everybody. I fixed the problem without taking the whole panel out, and yea, puttin the panel back was a bitch! Thanks for the help tho.
