Default Can't open front passenger door.

The door key won't unlock the door and the interior lock and handle have no effect either.
Trying to unlock it via the driver side door lock controls doesn't work either.
While I could get in via the "Bo Duke" method, wifey won't.

I guess I could always hack thru/destroy the inner door panel to get to the lock assembly (the window works).

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Call some luck smith guy to see if he can open the door for you and you then try to fix the actuator or maybe the cable broke inside. I said, maybe the cable broke. I'm thinking of all the possibilities. But I tend more to the actuator broke and that is the reason why you can not open the door.

Thanks, I don't think I can hear/feel the actuator motor whir when press the lock/unlock button.
Now that I think about it, I never replaced that door's motor. Sigh... Such is life.
