Stuck Door Lock!

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.

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.
