Default ~~~ DOOR WON'T OPEN ~~~

-
My passenger door will not open... not with the key, not with the automatic door opener from either side, and it won't open by force of hand!!
Anyone experience something like this before? what can I do?

Any advice is appreciated.

The door lock connecting rods have slipped out, possibly due to someone trying to jimmy the door open.

You'll need to open the door and take the inside cover off so you can put them back in, since the problem is you can't open the door in the first place, I'm not sure how you can do this.

The same thing happenned to my parent's Galant after I locked the keys inside and had someone try to break in, the garage managed to fix it.

im not sure you can get the door panel off with the door closed.. you would have to remove the pass. seat to give yourself enough room..
you can take the handle and switches off and see if you can manuver or pull the rods from there to unlock it

Take it into a locksmith shop who deal with cars they will have the slim jims that go down between the door glass and seal, that will be able to lift your locks and open the door.
