Default Assuming you are out of warranty...

Take the door panel off. You will find a steel rod connecting the door button to the electric plunger/solenoid to the doors handle, etc. Sometimes this rod can slip out of the button or the solenoid. Just re attach it and give it a little bend tighter with pliers. Try the lock b4 you re assemble the panel.
It's not a hard fix.

Default Re: drivers door wont open!!

Make sure the lock **** is fully raised by pulling up on it. You will probably need something to grab onto it with, as fingers just slip right off. I have seen a number of these, the lock rod raises but not all the way. Try that first because you pretty much have to destroy the door panel to get it off with the door closed.
