Left hand door wont unlock. The locking mechanism is stuck in the closed position and it will not open.

Hey Duys,

It sounds like the lock actuator is seized which will make it so the lock is holding the door locked, You will need to remove the door panel to get at it and see, here is a guide that will help you do that.
