Door lock is stuck

Cool, I'll give it a shot. I guess then I'll need to remove the panel, and see whats going on why the actuator is stayin in the locked position.

First try to get the door unlocked so you don't have to remove the door panel with the door shut. A real PITB. And it can destroy the door panel. But you have to do what you have to do. Let me know if this works for you. Most of the time its the actuator that has frozen or rusted up. You can either buy a new one $$$$ or try to rebuild the old one. I have had limited success rebuilding the old one. A lot of time its the rubber bellows on the actuator that has dry rotted and broken allowing water and crud to drain into the internal switch, It rust these little motors and switches up solid.
