Ah, now that it's cleaned up I can read the message.
I'm not sure what the problem is, but you could take the door panel off:
I believe (going purely on memory) there are 2 screws under the covers in arm rest, two or three at the botttom of the door, then 3 with the push it, pull out type (2 on left side, 1 on right maybe?) After getting all screws out, if you slightly pull (mine helped pulling up just a little), the door handle cover will come off. Then just pull panel like the panel was shut, and unplug wires.

1: Use fingers with little help of a steak knife, carefully lift, pull to remove this cover.
2, 6: To remove plastic pins, press the center core in 1/8", use finger nails to pull out. To put it back later, push back center core out 1/4", place pin in the hole, push the center in place.
3,4: Remove round covers and un-screw 2 screws.
7,8: Remove screws.
Lift the panel, disconnect the wire. With screw driver on hand, it's good idea to tighten up all screws on the door frame and panel.

then you will see this under the panel. Check all the connections. Other than that, I don't know how to fix it.
