SOURCE: How do I remove the inside door panel on drivers side
you need to take out the door panal and work from the inside of the panal. Open it from there.

Removing the door is very tricky, trust me on this. I ended up breaking it the first time, so please learn from my mistake.
1. Remove all visible screws: 2 at bottom of door, 3 on front near
hinge, 1 on inside the door lever. You will need an average size
phillips screwdriver to do this.
2. On the door handle itself, you will see two circles. Pop the front
one out. You will need a LARGE size phillips screwdriver to do this.
3. Once screws are removed, take a (standard) flat-head screwdriver,
preferable one with a large face, and pry the triangular piece of
plastic (that covers the outside SIDE mirror) off. This will aide in
puting the door panel back on...TRUST ME!!!
4. Take the same flat-head screwdriver, and pry behind the door lock
(at the same time, push forward toward the door hinge). The assembly
should pop out.
5. Gently pry the door panel from the door, making sure not to break
any unnecessary pieces along the way. The door panel should be hanging
by the window sill opening.
6. This is where it will get tricky. It is advised that you use help
with this part: Angle the door panel at a 45 degree angle. AT THE SAME
TIME, slightly bend and twist the door lock handle until it fits
through the hole. You will see the 3 pegs the held it in the door from
before. Also note: Be careful not to break the 2 poles that are
attached to the lock.
7. After popping the lock through the hole, you should be able to lift
the door upward, and off the sill. Repeat these steps in reverse order
to re-attach door panel.
Be careful not to rip sound-deadening paper found on inside of door
unless you intend to remove or replace it! Not only does it prevent
dirt and moisture from entering your door (and possible rusting it from
the inside out), but it makes your speakers sound better too!

**It is also recommended to put a tiny bead of silicone on the inside
of the door panel to help suppress any rattling, and prevent moisture
and dust from entering. It also helps your screws obtain a tighter fit.
Hope this helps!

linkage on inside of door has come undone. take off inside door panel and you will find a small rod that goes to the lock mechanism where the door closes opposite the hinges. follow the handle to the door lock.the nylon bushing may have broken.they are cheap to purchase at auto part stores.

alot of times a lock smith has "slim jimmed" the car before and that subsequently can break clips or knock off lock rods to the latch. not too hard to fix if you can get the door open in order to remove inner door panel accessing that latch and rods...if the door wont open i have used a very long ,slendy screwdriver and poked down the window opening to mannually open the door latch ...it takes a little time and some gentle poking to hit the lever on that door latch
Now the brakes are fixed but the hazards won't quit flashing and the guy who repaired the car said I needed to reset the system by pushing the little black button. And I don't know if I should have it looked at, or change the battery, or if it is something very simple I can fix by my self.
