Figured we needed up a writeup...
Front doors:
Remove the trim caps from around the door handles (makes it easier to remove the panel from around the handles)
Remove the (2) phillips screws from behind the door pull
Pry panel away from the truck to release the push-in connectors from the side and the bottom edge.
Lift up on the edge by the door lock indicator. If yours hasn't been off before, it may be hard to remove.
Lift up on the front edge by the mirror- mine was already gone, but there would normally be a clip here, that simply lifts out of a hole cut in the door shell. If you pull forward, it will break that clip.
The clip is normally at the top of the panel, you can see where it broke off:
If you're removing the entire panel, you will need to unhook the mirror controls (if equipped) by gently prying the clip up (gray half) so it can pass over the retainer pin (black half)
*** If you have a 1995-1997, you will have lights in the bottom of your doors. Simply reach behind and turn the bulb 90° and it will come out.
Release the main switch panel from the door panel by pushing back through the panel towards the door- no need to unhook it.
Panel should now be free to remove.
