Dumb question time...Did you try to open it from the inside? Unlock/open from the driver's seat?
Fred

yes nothing willl open it

thanks though

You might have to remove the rear seat door panel and the kick panel to allow the front door panel to move freely.

I had a similar problem after I had removed the door panel and re-installed it. It turns out that the inside door handle was off one tooth and the armrest was putting pressure on the handle. This goofed up the lock system. It took a bit of fiddling, but removing the armrest and moving the inside handle allowed me to unlock the door.

How about rolling down the window and trying to move th lock linkage with a snake wire?
