Default Door lock issue

If I lock my drivers side door wether it be with a key or push the ****, I cant get it to unlock. It feels like it is jammed. The only way I can get it to unlock is by pulling door panel and doing it manually. There is a lever inside that I can only feel not see and it only takes a slight flip and it opens the door. I have lubed it very well! Is my latch bad or do I have a bent rod? Or what? Thanks

Take out the mechanism and do an eye-ball check. Three rods and three screws.

Spray that sucker with WD40 liberally and work it back it back and forth.

Didn't know WD-40 had healing properties. Remove and be more directional when spraying.
