My drivers side door lock is really gummed up. Sometimes you cant even open the door because pulling the trigger does nothing to disengage the the mechanism.
I unbolted the rectangular lock mechanism and drenched it in wd40, but that didnt seem to work. Well, now not only is it still gummed up, but there are pieces disconnected. I tried looking for the online bently but couldnt find it. I need a diagram from the rods and other bits that hook up to the lock mechanism that i cannot see with the door cards off (pretty much the entire assembly)
as well, any tips on ungumming the locks?

Suspect you mean latch, this is the problem, not the locks on our cars.
Remove the latch, there is an access hole on the bottom to stick a small flat blade screwdriver in to keep the remote controll lever open, it is hooked on the wire with a hook on it(connected to inside handle), you will see it when you take out the two allen screws the at hold the latch on to the door.
Take the plastic off the locking lever.(Connected to locking knob)
Wash the latch in gas or other solvent, need only a 1.5 cups in a small pail. Do them all, dry and put lots of fresh grease inside, then with a screwdriver up the access hole to keep the remote control lever extended to hook on the hooked wire.(you'll have to pry out the remote lever out before shoving in the screwdriver)
Remove your door handles, wash in solvent with a used toothbrush, lube with grease, light grease or trans. fluid, many diff. thoughts here. WD-40(red extension tube inside the cyl. by key hole) in the lock cyl to lube and remove moisture for the winter(no frozen locks)
Now your doors will open like new.
