Sorry to pick every ones brains so much. Well, guess I have only asked a couple of questions but, i don't want to over due it either. I did a search on the web and here to see if i could find the info and came up with a lot of stuff but it had little to do with my problem.

Today, I drove my kids home from church. I play drums and bass for the worship team and today I had to play bass so, I went to church earlier then my wife and kids. After church she wanted to stop at the store so the kids rode with me. My son has this really bad habit of pulling on the door handle while you are trying to unlock it. Today was no exception. He finally got it opened but it didn't sound right when he stopped and let me unlock it so that he could open it. The door sounded like something was not fully open yet when he pulled on the door. We all got in. He shut the door and it seemed fine. I locked the doors (as kids have a tendency to mess with the handles while driving) I started the car and the door light on the instrument panel was on. I made everyone open and shut their doors. The light was still on. I locked the doors again and then my son told me that the lock on his side was not all the way down. So, before I could say anything ( as I knew that was a sign that it was an issue with his door) he pushed the lock down as far as it would go. I figured that it was fine. At least I knew all the doors were locked and no one wold fall out and I could take a look at it when we got home. Well, now the door will not unlock with the power locks or manually. The lock pull will not even come all the way up. I even tried pliers on it but and pushed the unlock at the same time and nothing. The door is stuck. You can hear the lock trying to open when I use the power locks. It is like something is stopping it. Like it is in the way. I really don't want to try to take the whole door panel off inside the car. Not sure with the seats right there that I can even do that but, I also don't want my door stuck either. I want to keep this car in the great condition it is in and even improve on that as I can. Please HELP!!!! :confused:
