Default It shouldn't be this hard

I am having trouble getting the passenger side door panel off 04 Volvo XC90. I am trying to access the electrical wires inside the door for the side mirror. Any suggestions?
Really it shouldn't be this hard.

I really have no idea how to get that panel off but in most cases you remove a screw from under a plug or two, remove a screw from under the speaker grill, and pull the panel off.

Post it in the proper vehicle location and wait for a reply.

Why? If you just need the wires then get them before they go into the door. Just need to get a proper diagram showing you the color code. I could also be wrong and the driver's switch controls the passenger mirror through a data connection.

Well I also suggest you to go by diagram and check all the possibilities for the problem and the solution. If you find the problem then it is good otherwise you have to check in to the network of those all the wires.

Default I figrued it out

You have to access the wires from inside the door panel.
To remove door panel you have to find 2 screws in the door handle. The sliver part of the handle where you pull the door shut has a removable piece on the under side. I had to use a pocket knife and a fine screw driver to get it to pop out. There you undo screws and that is all that holds the panel on.
They make these babies one of a kind.

Thanks for trying.
