1.) Are you locked IN or locked OUT of the car right now?
2.) Use the actual key to get in.
3.) Can't help you get out....

I've seen them go bad. My MM is on its 3rd one. I've also seen the rivit that mount it in break, too.

When you try the power lock/unlock do you hear anything inside the door?

It could be:


Door lock actuator is jammed
Door lock assembly is jammed or broken


The only way to know is take the door panel off.

My door lock actuator broke loose from the rear door frame. It is fastened with one rivit that failed. So, if you hear the acuator check to see if the button-sized rivit on the rear door frame is missing. I bought the actuator and only needed a bolt. If you need a front door actuator, let me know; I have a Dorman actuator for sale that fits either front door.

I'd get some type of lube on the parts ASAP.
