The passenger door won't open. Someone tried to open the door from the outside while I was in the process of electrically opening it from the drivers inside. Now it will not open from the inside, outside or remote. I got 80% of the inside panel off (screw behind dash still in place) so I see the mechanical linkages are moving. The location where the jaw is located is a sealed area and so to enter from behind I think I have to find a way to smash it. Maybe I can remove the rear door and use a hacksaw blade to cut the pin the jaw holds onto but then I'll have to pry the pin so the jaw will have room to slide out. I am stumped and need other people's experience please.
 
your rod is bent from a slim jim, dont cut any holes just mess with it for a bit, if the rod is bent it will not reset and relese
 
Did you try locking the door with the remote and then using the key to open it ? Don't remove the rear door or smash anything just yet.
