Open the door. Stand facing your car. Bottom right. Its a little button.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

I don'tknow for sure, but I think if you take the rear panel that has the pass side back seat arm rest and the sill off, you can get to it.

just remove the retaining screw you can get it wiggled out of there. Its a faulty ground that causes it to not work. Its just a simple ground witch pin out=ground pin in=no ground. Rust in this area can cause it to not ground properly to.
