Default Unlocking Passenger door - Actuator dead

Hi all. I cannot open my passenger door, it is in lock position.. the actuator seems to be dead. How do I get the door unlocked so I can get the panel off and actuator replaced?? Thx ; )

The manual lock inside is also not movable? When you say actuator I'm assuming the power one. My 04 pass side wont lock and unlock from outside but manual lever inside dose work.
If the manual one is seized than the door panel has to come off while closed and a PITA to repair. Good luck.

I think you'll find removing the door panel while closed requires cutting the plastic. Not fun. Try taking it to a body shop for some advise.
