Take the panel off and see what is getting caught...if you have to do this with the door shut then good luck.

if it's locked get a hanger and pop it..sounds like the metal bar(which you hit to unlock it) is buggered up.

Try getting it open with a slim jim (metal bar for unlocking cars). Most towing companies have them and maybe for a small fee they can unlock the door.

NO

you need to lift UP on your door at the SAME time pulling the handle, you need new pins and bushings on the hinge
