Dear Sirs:

I am a novice at auto power window/glass/electronics, but a fast
learner.
My Dad's power window passenger side probably needs a new motor, but I
can bench test it once I figure out exactly what the procedure is. How
do I remove the power window's motor from the semi-exposed door-panel?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I approach these things slower than you. Try to get a wiring diagram
and find the color coded wires going from the switch to the motor and
use these to test your motor, in place, if possible. This might save
you
a lot of time and effort which, otherwise, would be wasted.

For $10/day, you can get access to the factory repair manual at
techinfo.toyota.com, which shows how to test the master switch, wiring, and
motor and how to remove them.

You can start with the free repair guide on Autozone.com

http://www.autozone.com/shopping/repairGuide.htm
Look under "Body" -> "Interior" -> "Door Glass and Regulator".

It's not difficult to do once you open one up. Just beware of sharp
edges.

There is some sort of relay in my old camry that controls power, I
pulled the motor , hooked it to a battery and blew it out, so it may
not be the motor.

The helpful tip for removing all facia, plastic, vinyl parts from
inside a car door - from Haynes Repair Manual / Toyota Sienna 1998
thru 2002 / All Models - is as follows:

Wrap the end of a screw-driver with (duct) tape in order
to wriggle everything loose - without scratching and tearing it up.

We would like to thank the Nobel Committee, Albert Einstein and Nancy.

And Harbor Freight has a set of poly tools
designed for trim removal. Only a few bucks.
