Ford F150 - power window problems '83 f150

Is there any way to take the panel off the doors so that I can replace the regulators that run the power windows. Parts are rusty that move. Switch worked to move window up with some help, but switch didn't work to move them down and I hear no sound at all from anything. I redid wiring and switch moved them up, now nothing.

Yes. Remove the screw in the grab handle, swing the vent window BARELY open, pop the fasteners loose along the edges of the door, & lift it. You'll have to lift the inside handle to get the panel up, but be VERY careful with the switch wiring. It's VERY easy to break the tabs on the switch bezels, and they're hard to find at any price.

If the motor doesn't run or even try to move in only 1 direction, then you probably have a bad switch or bad wire from the switch to ground. Which window isn't working?

The wiring is basically the same as this, but the wire colors might be slightly different.

thanks steve for your help, I'm going to try to take out all the parts in each door and use my grinding wheel to make them look like new and try to get them running again.
