Default Door Won't Unlock....

Hey guys just joined today for the reason stated above...
So I went out to deposit some money and fill up last night and when I was done, my door would not open.. This door was kinda messed up already. It wouldn't unlock with the remote. Just by hand or with the key. So I tried with the key. The lock on the door moves but the door itself remains locked. How would I go about fixing this? It's only been a day and getting in and out of my car is really starting to get annoying...(entering through passenger side)

You'll have to take the door panel off and work the mechanism manually to get it open. This is of course difficult when the door is locked closed. Removing the driver's seat (four bolts to the floor) should make it easier.

It is usually apparent what the problem is when something is broken, or sometimes you just need to douse the latch part with WD-40 or similar.
