Lightbulb Door Lock Stuck

Sounds as though your door lock solenoid has come loose inside the door. If it has fallen down & bound, it won't be able to dis-engage the lock. It is only held on with two small aluminum rivet to the door frame. You can fix it yourself by pulling the door panel loose by popping it out with care (a hair raising experience). Plan on replacing the plastic anchors. Once open, you can re-position the solenoid, drill new holes into the bracket and refix with rivets, or preferrably bolts with backing nuts.
