Passenger door won't open
My passenger door won't open from the inside or the outside. I thought the loce wasn't disengaging but I took the lock trim off and yanked on the rod and it still won't open.
Is there any way I can take the door panel off with the door closed to inspect the latch? How the hell do I get this door open!

Mine had this same problem. It's acting like it won't unlock?
There is actually a small cam that rolls over for the locking mechanism. I don't have a picture of it at the moment...
But basically, if the cam splits, gets stuck, or pretty much is unable to do its job, the car will stay locked, or perhaps it'll stay open all the time and not close...
It's kind of a pain but my solution was to just replace to locking mechanism entirely...
