Default Locked outta my Car

Well just the right rear one!
Today seemed like a good day, i was bored, decided to remove my door panel and put the wire cable that opens the door from inside back on, since it was somehow removed , Guessing from the stereo shop,<--- long story
anyways i put that cable in place tested the inside door handle and it works, however the cable for the lock was.... fishy looking (modifed.."rigged" by stereo shop as well) put that cable in as well, put everything back together, closed my door and now it wont open, lock must be in the LOCK position and since the lock cable is rigged it won't unlock it
HOW DO I OPEN MY DOOR NOW?

incase your wondering the rigged/moddifed door locks, well upon installing a car alarm stereo shop tells me all my accuaters (misspelled i know) are bad all of them! funny they were fine when i pulled in, so they put some aftermarket pump action plastic deals in ! sounds like crap when i lock or unlock my car
also my right rear window the Auto close part doesnt work while trying to roll it up it comes right back down!!!?!?!
Please help me somehow open my door so i can mess with the door locks, tried everything

hmm. i thought the door always opened from outside even if cable is unhooked, making the inside useless. ok, the only thing i can think of is to remove ashtray assembly, just pull but if it isnt easy just stop dude dont break clips been there done that rattttttlezzz. but remove ashtray assy, and reach your hand up to pull the cable to unlock it? i mean, this would be very tough just to get the cable....

u cant do that. your arm cant move at the angle needed to get to the lock assy....unless u saying remove ashtry and try pulling cables, that MIGHT work if you can get a arm in there but i promise mine wouldn't fit and im not a big guy. im 6 foot 225 so my normal sized arms/hands wouldnt get in there

Austin and Sakataj
tried the ashtray deal, nogo, evan after removing the screw still doesnt give me enough play to get in there think about removing the woodgrain trim?? good/bad Idea ? anyone ever pop that out can i get to the cables through there? danm im stuck like chuck with my 3 door lexo !
slvrGS430- i noticed that the retarded window in my car acts that way cuz its not the OEM one, so I'm guessing someone before me replaced it and didnt do a good job, havent found a fix to it yet!

So you have a key on you right? If yes, then put the key in the key hole on the drivers door and turn+hold to the right for a few sec. That should roll down all the windows. Or you can just hold down the unlock button on the remote. To get to the cables usually involves removing the entire door panels. Very difficult to access it from outside, they designed it this way so the car is harder to steal. I don't think slim jims work on the GS.
