Need immed help. Door stuck closed

[RikRok]

I had my car on a jack, open and closed drivers door. It will not reopen, and the dome light is stuck on. Is there some kind of elec. lock? Like a tilt switch, or did my lock just chose to break?

Do a search, I had this problem on my 96. I was doing the "Dukes of Hazard" entry and exit for a while . I had to remove the seat and pull the door panel back to get to the latch mech. and release it with a custom bent screw driver . On mine the latch failed while at the dealership. They took NO responsiblity, so it was up to me to figure it out. Good luck

Thanks for the help. After I palmed the outside of the door near the latch (crinching all the time) it released. I think it must have been a little tweaked on the jack.
