Convertible. Passenger door. Electric locks. Can not open from inside or outside with handles. Can't pull up the lock knob. Key won't turn in cylinder. Electric actuator works, but won't move the lock. Obviously the latch is bad. Any suggestion on opening this door to fix it?

Try squirting some WD40 on the latch assembly. You could also try push in on the door while trying to unlock it.

The pushing worked to open it. Latch is history.
