Door won't open Empty

Apparently something came loose in the passenger side front door.

The electric lock seems to actuate, and throw, the key throws, things clunk around, but when trying to open the door either from inside or out, it doesn't open, seems like something is no longer connected. The problem in removing the door panel of course is that it is not open, so I can't get to all the screws to take it off.

Any ideas?

Dave, this is the excuse you have been looking for to put your wife back in the 3rd seat.

Sorry, that's reserved for the sheep.

Any solutions (to the door problem , not the wife or sheep)

I have some access to the lock mechanisms now. I rolled both windows down.
I took the driver's interior door panel off completely  to compare things, and have the top half of the passenger door panel off. I can't really see any difference from side to side in terms of what happens. The throws seem complete for the mechanisms lock. I see the handle actuators move, but no opening of the door.

I've been looking for something to press, trip or push to throw the latch but haven't stumbled onto any thing  magic that works yet.

Two hours so far. Yes, I'm pissed off

It's only a show car when it doesn't start. Like 2 weeks ago.

... and it's raining.
