    Call Pop A Lock or go by a locksmith or body shop and let them slim jim the lock open. I will bet it is simply jammed - suprised using the key and pulling on the latch / button will not open - how about key and pulling on the inside opener loop? The inside latch can be removed with the door shut but I agree the panel cannot be removed w/o damage with the door closed.

    Hope you are not going to tell us later that it has been in an accident recently or that an alarm has been added....

    The door will not open!
    Can I get the door panel off with the door closed?
    I sprayed a alot of wd-40 in there and worked the key and button together.
    With the fuse for the door locks pulled out.
    Still no luck

    Tone, do you have any ideas for this? I know my ideas are drastic, but my ego won't be crushed if you post a solution...

    Raz, did you try disconnecting the battery? Also, did you call around to try to find a replacement door panel?

    I GOT IT OPEN!!!
    Sprayed more WD-40 in there with window down and keep working
    the key and button together heard a pop and it opened!
    Took off door panel and found power door lock was the
    problem. Took it apart and gears had broken teeth.
    Did not put it back in will have to use key till I get a new one.

    That is exactly what was wrong with mine. If you find a good price on the part let me know. I've been to busy/lazy to search yet!

    That's awesome news! That's the best possible outcome given the circumstances.

    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.
