does the key turn in the cylinder?? if not, spray some lubricant. do not use WD40, as that stuff is garbage and dries things out.

next step would be to remove the door panel and take a look inside.,

perhaps a plastic clip which hooks the rods to the cylinder has broken

the hook will be fine since its metal, its the plastic clip which could be a problem. dealer would have them, prob special order.

main issue will be accessibility, very tight working conditions.
