Pull off the door panel and inspect the lock mechanism.

But RonJ, wouldnt it be hard to get the panel off without the door being open? I guess you could at least take off the handle peice without the door being open, and mess with the rod.

Take the plastic peice off around the inside handle and see if you can find the rod connected to the unlock plastic knob. Mine has broke before and needed replacing.

i had the same problem a week ago but my door wouldnt lock and i couldnt lock it or unlock it manually either so i jus took it in and had someone look at it and it was the actuator that was broken. so you might have the same problem i had but instead your doors locked instead of unlocked like mine was.

Haha...I missed the fact that the door also could not be unlocked from the inside. Taking the door handle off and messing with the lock rod is worth a try. Otherwise, a tow truck might be able to unlock the door with a slim jim.

This happened to me but on the driver side so i had to get out through the passanger side. The guys i took it to said its common for the lock piece to mess up...it should just be that.

I went to a car locksmith...but make sure they dont f**k you like they did me. They charged me $100 bux to replace it with a used one..that including labor with wasnt much they had to do. The part on ebay is like 35 bux but I didn't have time to wait. All you need to do is take off the door panel off by removing a few screws and clips right off. Then the part is connected to the side off the door with 3 large screws. Pretty simply...wish I would have known then.
