    My passenger door is stuck/locked the same way. I tried a slim jim and I can turn the key while working the slim jim, but the lock won't budge. Can't get the door panel off to have a look. I'll try disconnecting the battery to see if the solenoid will let loose.

    getting unlocked

    when my door gets stuck locked, I use a screwdriver to unscrew and adjust the handle from the interior...then it always unlocks. Seems to only happen when I lock the driver door with the power lock button, from the inside when the door is closed

    Well AnalogVX, did you ever get the door unlocked and if you did, tell us how you did it.

    New power locks?

    So my power lock on the driver side doesn't work. Key is fine, but neither my button or fob opens it. Only the passenger side works. I just got a new alarm put in and they think it's a motor. Any resources on where to get a new one? Also, while I'm on the topic, my window motor is getting sketch...Is there a particular one you guys recommend as a replacement?

    my passenger did this also,

    i spent around 30 minutes pulling door lock up and lifting outside door handle while jiggling lock and it opened. the door lock actuator was the culprit. i want to thank everyone for this forum as it is the best source for information for these rare vehicles
