While installing new speakers in my car I shut my drivers door and it now won't unlock so I can open it. I've tried everything I can think of. It feels like something is jammed somewhere in the mechanism. The lock moves a little bit but resists movement until it get to a certain point and it won't move any further. the keyless entry tries to unlock it but gives up after a second. The key won't open the door from the outside. I checked to see if any wires came off a clip but there are no wires inside the door. It is really hard to see anything inside the door because it is stuck shut, so I removed my drivers seat from the back door but working space still blows.

All of the linkage checks out fine I'm now pretty sure that it is the mechanism.
This is the drivers side aka stuck side. Notice the blue tab in the center, That is for the exterior handle. That rod pushes down on the blue tab and opens the door. That blue tab should be up a lot higher as evidence of my passenger door.

Passenger door, The blue tab is up higher were it should be.

So this meens neither my lock works nor my handles to open the door.
Okay guys here is the fun part. I've determine my mechanism is screwed so I need to take it out to fix it. But this is how you take it out. (Passenger side)

The screws are on the end of the door!:2up: Well I obviously can take it out cause the door is stuck shut!!
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help, I'm really pissed right now and I'm almost to the point of ripping my door off.
