I know this is a bit of an old post, but I'm in the same boat. The door is fully closed, and there doesn't seem to be any way to open it. When trying to unlock the doors, there is resistence right before you reach the fully unlocked position. I've man handled the linkages inside the door. I've lubed everything I can reach, and worked it every which way. I've even tried poking and proding things with screwdrivers. Nothing seems to open this thing.
Does anyone know if there is a way to get the door open? The car is kind of a beater, so I'm not too concerned about getting the locks to work, I just don't want to have to keep getting in and out from the passenger side.
BTW, this is a 92 with power locks.
