maybe you could try to take the rest of it off and see if you can figure it out while just looking through the side that you can get open which is where the opening mechanism is anyway
directions on how to take apart your door panel are on my website (click on the link below) in the how-to section for window regulator removal
hopefully you can get to something that way; I'm not sure what else to do after that

only thing I can think of is the little metal connecting rods inside the door have come apart. about the only way I can think of getting anything apart is to pull the black switch panel off the door and go from there. possibly it just came unhooked somewhere that you can reach, but I don't think you'll be able to.
I've heard of this happening before, and there is a way to get the door open without destroying the door panel, but I don't know how. if you can't figure anything out, call your dealer and have them work on it.
good luck!

I think my lock came loose or something because neither door handles will open the door and when all the doors are locked and I hit the unlock button the passenger side door lock like jiggles a little bit but can't stay unlocked so it locks all the doors. So I finally get all the locks unlocked (or what appear to be) and the door still wont open? Seriously I need help!

Spoke to 2 dealers, they said the door latch needs to be broken using a rod inserted down window opening to open door. they then replace door latch, estimate about $250. I havn't had it fixed yet but sounds like it should be left to someone knowing what they are doing or you may break glass.

look dude
im a locksmith and we deal with this problem all the time ,all you need to do is take the screws out of the door then just carefully pop the pannel off from the bottom it wont be easy but you can do it ,then just look (with window up )you will see how simple the inside of the door is just find the rod that comes from the handel and gos to the back of the door then just push down on the lever the at the bottom of the linkage the door should open then you can fig what happened ,you prob had some one trying to open your door with slim jim or sometimes the rod can just fall off .

sorry i dont use aol,but
take out the screws in the handel and the under the cup under the latch ( you can pop it out witha screw driver then get as many of the pop in plastic plungers in the bottem of the door then very carefull grab the door pannel with the windw down and pop the top off the gide that holds the top of the door pannel in place it will be kind of hard cause of the 2 screws that are still in tere behind the dash /when the door is closed ,then raise the window back up and you will be able to get at the rods and levers inside just take your time and be firm when pulling the top of the door pannel off onece you get it started it will come right off once you get the door open y0u can get it back in shape no prob..where do you live?

Re: sorry i dont use aol,but
thank you very much, I fixed it today! I just pulled part of the panel off and pulled the door lock up as far as i could and somehow magically it came undone. Door opened and I put everything back and now it's great! BTW, I live in the Twin Cities in Minnesota

When you say you pulled the door lock up, do you mean the rod to the the door lock button? Were any of the rods off their connections? I want to try what you did as I don't want to pay dealer $250. Thanks

I unscrewed all the screws for the door panel like I was taking it off if my door were open. I believe there are four of them. Then if you pull on the little pocket in the door where you hold maps and stuff the bottom of the panel should snap off a little bit, but the frame will prevent it from pulling all the way off. At this point you have all of the panel screws off except two behind the dash so I lifted the panel off very carefully over the actual lock ****. Once I got that off I pulled up on the **** and it worked. So try that first and if it doesn't work who knows. Thats what I did and then I opened the door and it was all fine.
