if there electric ur actuators may have froze up. Mine did and didnt let me doors lock, I took out the actuators for temp, an manually locked and unlocked them. See if its froze up. ( its the big cylinder looking thing in ur door)

i believe it may be the actuator... the problem is that the door is stuck in the lock position, and I can't get the door open to get the door panel off.

Mine did it too. Just keep working with the key while working the door handle. Mine finally unlocked just enough to get it opened. Frozen actuator.

Definately the actuator.Had the same problem. if you dont remove it, you might bend the key. or break it. It will eventually stop moving all together.

Just pull the panel off. You can unlock it easily that way.

Little hard to do when the door is shut.
