How to Remove a Door Panel on a 95 Explorer Sport
Ford's 1995 Explorer Sport features a one-piece door panel with an integral control panel. The panel conceals the door glass and a number of wiring connections for the windows, locks, the door's speaker and the door's interior light. Unlike the case with other types of door panels, the panel's electrical-control panel need not be completely disconnected from each of its wiring harnesses to remove the door panel.
