I did that when I locked my keys inside the car in front of my favorite taco shop.

Took me a few tries but it worked.

thanks for the response guys. i didnt lock my self outside of the car. thats not the problem the problem is i cant get the drivers side door to unlatch and open, the locking mechanism has something screwed up. is there some trick to do with the latch to open it?

was everything hooked up correctly? take off both door panels and be sure that the right rods are going to the right places.
