1999 Explorer door lock stuck
The door lock is stuck in the locked position. Can't open it from the inside or outside, with the key or keyless, remote or by pulling up on the door lock ****. The door is lock and stuck shut.
When I try to unlock it electronicly, it acts like it wants to unlock but the **** doesn't come up. When I try the key, it feels jammed.
HELP
It's the drivers side and climbing over the passenger seat to get in and out got old the first I got locked in.

What I suggest is that you get some graphite lock lubricant, and shoot a bunch of it into the lock cylinder. Maybe then you can unlock it with the key. Failing that, you'll need to have a locksmith open the door. Then you can pull the door panel and find out what's wrong.
Good luck!

WD40 should work as well as graphite? when I put the key in, it turns toward the locking position, but it's like it's jammed the other way.
I started taking off the door panel, but it's kinda hard to do with the door shut. So I stopped before I tweaked it and came here for advice.
