Well since i cant open it from the inside or the outside i think that the lock is seized were it actually meets the door jam pin. When i try and open the door from the inside I can hear the release pin being pulled...but the lock wont actually unhook. Can you get the door panel off from the inside....i dont need the entire thing off, just enough so that i can work with the lock. I thought that i could take off the cover panel beside the drivers rear seat to get at the screws, not sure if that is going to work though. Help...i have to get this door open, i cant climb across anymore.

Re: Door lock seized on drivers side...how am i going to get this damn door open?!?!? (cramer)

I dont think a slim jim will work, when doing that all your doing is pulling the release wire with the slim jim. My release wire is attached and i am already pulling it ...the lock just wont release, i tried spraying some WD40 Type stuff in the lock on the side of the door but that did nothing but make a mess.
