Message There's gotta be an easier and/or cheaper way.

Once again, my door will not open from the inside or outside. I've rolled the window down and inspected it. I can't tell anything visually is broken, but when I try to depress either the lock or handle latches on the inside of the door on the drivers side, nothing happens. I've practiced on the passenger's side and have been successful in opening the door.

It seems to me that the rod or joint that connects the lock to the latch is not working. I know this piece is plastic and probably brittle. I'm also thinking that the latch or lock has seized. If that's the case, how can I get the door open? There's not enough clearance to get any lubricant into the latch.

BTW, my key works everywhere else. Using it on the drivers side will unlock the passengers side. Need help please!
