Driver side door locking tab sticks

I have a 2001 F150 Crew Cab. On the driver side door, the keyless entry will not open the door (i.e. the tab that raises and lowers when pressed). Sometimes it comes up only half way. Most if the time I have to use my key to open the door manually. The keyless entry opens the other doors just fine. I tried a small amount of oil on the tab, but the problem persists.

I don't know if simply needs to be greased or lubed. How do you remove the door panels to look inside?

the door panel is held in with a combination of screws and and clips. be careful as some of the screws you need to remove parts to get to (the window and door lock part of the door and i believe the bezel around the handle). be careful in removing these if you break the clip you're SOL. there are also screws on the bottom but the one's that are hidden are those that i listed other than that it should pop off.
