Does it turn? possible a metal clip broke and the rod popped out. If it wont turn and you have power door locks the solenoid might be froze.

When you push the button does the solenoid move the lock? I have had to replace solenoids before because customers did not like having to enter through the passenger door......WUSSYS!

Its that way on my drivers door but only when the panel is on the door. Try pushing the button to unlock while turning the key. If the key still wont turnthen maybe a squirt or WD40 though the latch might loosen it up.

When all fails then its time to pull the door panel off and check everything from the lock cylynder all the way to the inside handle.
