I have a hard time figuring how, with latch now unlocked, it is failing to open either from inside or outside. Could be two separate problems, maybe even my cracked potmetal finger problem on outer handle, gosh knows on inner. Or maybe it's just stuck.
The inner door lever is pretty robust, other than a wearing pivot on the trigger handle at front of door. One long thick wire link to latch, with a plastic swiveling lock clip-bearing at latch end that it can't really come out of.
First thing I'd do is, with door unlocked and that inner latch pulled as if to open door, throw my left shoulder HARD into the door. Maybe it's just stuck.
Erik might have gotten the inner panel off a closed door but I shudder just thinking of trying. You might have to remove the driver seat or butcher things - - a junkyard car with same interior color is good to have lined up as you move forward.
At the least you'll end up busting that styrene plastic courtesy light, since its rear end is held by a screw in the back end of the door, unreachable. Also, getting at and popping the plastic cap off, then getting a torx bit into and removing, the long shouldered bolt at rear of the bottom cubby, will be trouble. AND trying to pry the bottom of the panel free where the two push-ons are; it needs to pop inwards at least 3/8" I'd say, maybe more.
