Driver side door broken, can't open from inside or out.

[zemaj]

2 problems in one. great...

part 1. Driver seat door: I think something disconnected with the handle bar from the inside, but the bad part is that it always stays locked which is preventing me from opening my other door unless i pull some quick bruce lee move before it locks again.

part 2: My battery died which disabled the lock system so now i can't even use the key to open the damn doors. Remember my driver side door is already broken and when I put my key in the passenger side it doesn't turn.

Hopefully this isn't the first time you guys heard of this story. This **** is embarassing so please help.

This happenes to my back door all the time and used to happen to my driver door. What I figured out was, if you open the handle on the inside all the way and let it slam back into place a bunch of times in a row it will work itself loose. Then when I got the door open, I sprayed lithium grease into the door latch and open and shut the door a bunch of times. It worked on the front door, but not the back. There's a bind somewhere and you'll probably have to take the panel off to find it but what i just told you should be a quick fix.

You obviously can't acces the door panel, because your driver door is shut, so this is what I would do. Get in through the passenger door and push the driver seat back as far as possible, then work on partially disassembling the door.
