NEED HELP PLZ

I have a 2000Tacoma I can not ope the driver door not with handle not with key it wont open so i have to crawl from passenger to drivers seats and is so annoying my question is how can I remove the door panel if i CANT OPEN the door Please help thanks

 

So it won't open from the inside either I am guessing? You can remove the interior door handle cover and pull on the rod to see if you can unlatch the door that way. Or, have a locksmith slimjim it and pop the mechanism.

 

yeah, that. I've been sittin here for over a hour thinkin about that and the only thing I can come up with is the plastic rod attachment to the latch broke off. As far as getting the panel off, you take off the inside door latch, then the door arm rest and you should be able to jimmy it off, but your position doing it will be ridiculous and prolly a little painful.

 

Yeah, if neither exterior or interior are working, which are different rods, then the lock assembly must be seized or broken. Unless it's just the lock cylinder on the outside that's froze/jammed, and a problem on the inside. Maybe graphite the key and toggle it around. But I'd get a locksmith to pop it and then take the panel off and investigate.
