Default door will not open from inside or out - i searched

alrighty. soo my passanger door will not open from the inside or out. the door rod fell off which is why the outside wont work. but even pulling with wire wont open the door

the good news is i have the door panel already removed, and my passanger seat was already out! so i have plenty of room to work. it seems like the doors locked and wont unlock. i tried pulling/pushing the locking rod and i can hear it clicking but still i cant open it. idk what to do

sounds like your striker is jammed.. Have you trie pushing really hard from inside? Not enough to break anything but damn close to it..

try and have someone gently push the door closed from the outside while you try and release the mechanism from the inside.
