The electrical switches must be pryed out carefully with a screw driver and unplugged.

Remove door handle and door lock knob as required.

Use a putty knife to slide carefully between the metal and the panel. Pry gently out ward. The panels are attached with press in nylon fasteners around the perimeter of the door approximately 6 to 8 inches apart. When all fasteners are popped loose, lift panel up and off door.

If this helps, give us some fe$$edback if possible.

I would say its the switch, In my 5 years as a tech I vary rarely replaced window motors, you need to hit the switch hard with your finger, while looking at the dome lite, watch for it to dim. If it doesnt its the switch

you will bust the door panel if you listen to ED, there are no plastic fasteners, its hooked in
