Weird door problem

Okay so the driver's side door wont unlock from the outside or inside. When i use my key, i can see the lock move up a little. When I try to push up lock from the inside of the car, it seems to... get stuck. I can push it up quite far but the door doesn't unlock. Also, ever since the driver's side door had that problem, the passenger side door won't lock up. When I try to manually lock the passenger side, the lock opens up when I close the door again. Any ideas?

I did a lot of searching and a lot of trial and ended up with a lot of error.

i have popped both triangular lock covers out (passenger side operating) but driver's side goes like this:

the locking mechanism *seems* fine, just a little hard to get the door to unlock. When the door does unlock, and I pull the door handle (whether its the inside one or the outside one) the passenger side door locks up like i turned the key on the driver's side. When I pull the door inside door handle on the driver's side, the rod which should be moving downwards to open the door does not move at all. But when I pull the handle from the outside, the rod does move. However, the result of both are the same, the passenger side locks up and the driver's side door is still locked.

I really need some help on this one guys, dale's website is down (supposedly containing a lifesaving door-panel removal guide.

thanks in advance!
