02 door not opening from inside or out.
back door, weeks ago outside handle stopped working, have seen posts here about it. Now you can't open from the inside either. Do these have the child safety locks? How do I get the door open? Remove the hinges? I don't see how I can get the inside door panel off with the door shut??

Take the door panel off. It's not easy, you may end up destroying the panel but it can be done. Then depending on what the issue is you may be able to just pull the door handle rod and pop it open. If it's the actual latch that failed I usually take a drill to it. If it comes to that make sure you have a new latch before you start drilling.

Move the front seat all the way forward and remove the rear seat. That should give you enough room to get the inner panel out without destroying it.
