Question:

I’m usually pretty good at getting door panels off, but how do you do it on a 95 XLT?

Every car is basically the same. Door panels are held in with  a few screws plus those plastic door panel fasteners that you have to pry off. Sometimes they get damaged as you pull them off but they are cheap and easy to get at any auto parts store. But if you are careful you should not have a problem. I have never taken one off my Explorer but every car I had in the past is usually has the same principle of door panel removal. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->I’m usually pretty good at getting door panels off, but how do you do it on >a 95 XLT?

I have a 1995 Explorer XLT and the lock on one of my doors just stopped working.  It’s frozen in the unlocked position.  It can’t be manually locked.  The factory alarm sets even with the door unlocked.  Any suggestions on what it is and how I can fix it?

Sounds like either the door lock actuator or the connecting rod mechanism is jammed . You most certainly will have to take off the door panels to fix the problem no matter what it is. However, once the door panel is off, it should not be a big deal to fix the problem.
