S70 door latch problem
 
Hi today the courtesy lights will stay on when the driver side door is still closed, as if it were open. Also when the key is in (even when driving!) the key reminder will be on also. I figured out that the switch in the door latch is not working properly. So i need to know how to take the door apart so i can see what exactly the problem is. Does anyone have an idea? Thanks.

The panel is pretty easy to take apart.
Remove the trim ring around the inner door handle. Then where you grab to close the door is a little cover pop it off and remove the t-25 screw.
Then the rest of the panel is held in with clips. Carefully pull on the panel to remove the panel and clips.

Just a note, I took off all 4 of my S70 door panels and every one of them needed 2 or 3 clips and the clip brackets glued back on with liquid wrench. You may want to get a few clips and liquid wrench to put it all back together.

So do i pull it out or does it have to sort of be pryed after the torx is off?

If the door panel is still solid you can pull it by the map pocket in the front part of the panel and the clips should come out.
