with the door panel off there are 2 horizontal metal rods that lock and unlock the door. The top rod is the one; put the key in the door and turn it while feeling the rod for the direction. Grab the rod and move it in the direction that the turning of the key does. You should hear a loud click, then pull the outside door handle and that should be it. The rod needs lubing and then it will work again.
