This morning I was unlocking my drivers door and something sliped inside the door as the key turned counter clockwise with no resistence. The door did not unlock all the way and I could not open the door. The inside door handle would not unlocke it either so I had to climb in from the passenger side...

Once home and out the passenger side. I tried pulling the lock button rod up with a pliers and it would not budge any further. The door will still not unlock or open.

An ideas on how to get this unlocked and open so I can take the door panel off to see what went wrong>

Has any one removed a door panel while the door is closed? I guess that is what I will try next.

Thanks,
