The door on my vehicle wont open from either side, it is as if the lock does not seem to actuate when pulling the pin or pressing the unlock button. I pull the lever and you can hear the rod move, but it does not open the door. I have removed the panel from the inside, the doors shut and I cannot seem to find anything inside that will let me open the door. Thanks in advance.

I found out later that it was a broken spring from the outer door handle, wouldn't open from the inside because it had the child safety lock on, but I replaced the spring and it would open again, thanks anyhow
