Default Passenger door will not open 1991 LX 5.0 Stang

I have read a few posts here and will attempt to get it open. Bascially, the key will only turn to the left. I have the panel partially opened and am able to see the actuator and rods. I have sprayed it with WD 40 but to no avail. Power locks and windows are great when they work but man, what a nightmare when they don't !!!

Thanks DY,, it was one of those spur of the moment type of deals..frustrating to the point of hammer and chisel you know...but a cooler head ( few and far between ) prevailed.

Disconnected my lock actuators also...I agree with the reaching across. Don't ever have to worry about them ever freezing up that way
