    you arent gonna be able to do that....its gonna break if you try to remove it with the door shut...

    i would honestly pull apart the window/lock mechanism and see if you can send the motor power to get it to unlock...i believe that if our motor looses power it wont allow the mechanism to move at all...check your fuses (i know it sounds dumb, but its worth a try)...

    You could even stop by your local police office (state or local). They have a lot of experience getting into locked cars.

    It was the electric lock, but for the life of me I can't remember which piece broke (solenoid stuck locked maybe?), I brought it to a shop and they somehow got in there and took the part out (for cheap I may add, took less than an hour) now I have a manual locking passenger door.

    Just thought I would put some closure to this thread.

    I am having the same problem. The lock will not unlock, with the key, by hand or by the remote. It's just stuck. Wish I knew what they did to get in there.
