I don't know if you fixed it, but here is what I had to do with my 94 Q.
Unbolt the inside door panel (although the door is closed and you cannot remove the panel). The panel will move up enough (with careful force)to unlatch at the top of the door (this is to give you enough room to get tooling down to the latch mechanism). You can then roll down the window and get a screwdriver to the latch mechanism inside the door. This is the mechanism at the far end of the door which latches to the striker plate. I had to then break open the plastic cover on the door locking mechanism, get to the locking lever inside (which had failed locked) and slide it to unlock the door. When I finally got the latch mechanism out, I found that there is a pin inside the mechanism that the locking lever rotates around. This pin had failed. While I was at it, I replaced the passenger latch mechanism as well. I found it too had failed. The symptom is the auto lock actuator won't lock but sounds like a machine gun for a second.
Whatever you do, don't damage the leather inside panel....they are expensive. The door lock/latch mechanism is about $50 per piece.
