Roll the window up first before removing the panel. I had to unplug the lock mechanism and release 3 plastic clips then unbolt the lock mechanism to get it out.

If it is working with the power lock, you likely have a rod that came disconnected from the mechanism. You should be able to look with a light after the door panel is removed and see if the metal rod from the key lock is not connected to the lock mechanism.
Thanks a lot for the help! I was able to unlock it manually so im guessing that the cylinder itself is on it's way out. Just need to play with it a few times and it opens, ill save this project for the weekend, Thanks again!

I had somewhat the same sound not to long ago, mine was a clanking sound only in drive/reverse, turned out to be the torque converter, had it replaced and the sound is gone

Quick question guys, I got new bumpers and need to paint them. Should I use Herculiner or the wally world Rustolem Bedliner? Anyone use either and have any recommendations? Thanks
