Driver side door actuator failed completely to the point where you couldn't open in from inside nor outside. Fix was; - Order new part - Remove driver seat - remove rubber seal - unscrew and pop out and disconnect the inside door panel (carefully, start at the bottom, interior trim tools help) - remove plastic covering - smash the lock/latch plastic unit/box using flat tip screwdriver and a hammer, being careful to stay clear of the area where the cables/links from inside handle go in (aim for the silver round latch if you can, study the new part for indications of where you need to chip away). Once you smashed the right part, door should unlock. - remove all screws to remove the unit. An impact screwdriver might be required, these are very tight, be careful not to strip them. - release the rod at the top where it connects to the outside door handle - remove unit - transfer inside handle cables from old unit to the new one - insert new unit and proceed in reverse order (minus the smashing) Search YouTube for this problem, some good videos there that will help you get a feel of what needs to be done.
