... have you tried locking and unlocking from the keylock and the manual
button on the door? Is the central locking system working? If so, have you
tried locking and unlocking via the central locking system? I have no BTDT
on your particular car, but I suspect that the problem is in the locking
mechanism. I had a situation where the car was locked and the mechanical
unlocking ring on both front doors broke (not unusual for the V8s). I ended
up popping the trunk and pulling the pneumatic line for the trunk latch
mechanism ... applying pressure to that line pushed the locks open and
allowed me to get into the car. I know it is a different scenario from what
you have, but perhaps the pneumatic lock system is part of your issue too
...
Good luck!
