Driver side power window Bang! Bang!

2001 Ranger 4 liter 4 door
My driver side window goes up and the electric motor does not stop running when the window reaches its normal upper position. Instead it goes bang-bang-bang until I take my finger off of the switch. I'm guessing there is a limit switch that should disconnect the motor but has failed.
The bang-bang (again I'm guessing) probably is some sort of a spring loaded torque limiter to protect the motor.
Other than that, the window goes up & down as it normally should.
I have no problem digging into the door, except with the window, door lock and outside mirror switches, I don't have a clue regarding how to get the inside door panel off. I know to disconnect the battery 1st.
I hope there is a write-up that someone can pass my way.
I thank you in advance.

No need for further reply.

I just did a web search and viewed a 1AAuto.com excellent video regarding door panel removal.
