can't get in

[papacan]

The first time I locked up my 90' limited,the drivers side rear door won't work. I had locked the rear doors by man'l,the button feels like its not hooked to anything,real free when you try to open it, the manual doesn't show how to get at it! Need help,THANKS IN ADVANCE,CARL, (it locked but won't unlock)

Inside the door, there is a little metal rod that connects the lock button to the lock mechanism itself. Likely the rod has fallen off.

If you take out the back seat, you may have enough room to take the interoir door panel off with the door still closed.
Once the panel is off, you likely can see the broken linkage inside the door and work out how to give it a pull to unlock the door latch itself.

my 95 did that too, take the rear seat out and there is enough room to get at it. or you could take to cover around the handle off and unlock it to get toh door open then take it all apart...
