I have same gig on my BDA for same reasons with my '97. I read this 2008 post from "towncar" who seems to have nailed the BDA fix from all angles where he states he just moved the door lever with a screwdriver after disconnecting the motor power cable...
This solution might help us BUT...after dropping the glove box and checking this out on my '97 Sig...I'm myself trying to ascertain 2 obstacles with this fix in the scenario of just dropping the glove box and not the entire dash board: 1) How to get to and unplug the power cable to the BDA and 2) How to access the door lever with the screwdriver from that angle?
