Electrical problem
1990 Cadillac Deville V8 Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I locked my keys in the car and we tried using a slim jim to open them and it did not work so we ended up having to call a locksmith so they could use the air bag and rod to get in the door and unlock it and somehow using the slim jim disabled the outside door handles everything else works windows, electic lock/unlock, inside door handle, i was told their was a way to reset them and we had to so is their any help you can do?

It is strictly a mechanical system, with linkage rods. It sounds like a rod has been dislodged, or unclipped, and the inside door trim panels would need removed for access.
