CM Door doesn't well

08 coupe drivers side .The pad you squeeze to open the drivers door works very hard .It will work if squeezed hard enough .Then other times it's fine .Passanger door works fine .No accidents and Fobs seem fine

Sounds like the contacts inside the pad need cleaning.

It's pretty easy to remove the pad from the door, separate the two pieces, clean the contacts & put it back together. Just use normal care & caution.

I used a soft cloth & WD40. It took me about 20 minutes total on my '06 for both sides & the pads now work like new.
