Ok. So my passenger, tried getting out of the car, and she jammed the lock somehow. The lock is stuck in the locked position and is totally jammed. The door wont even open from the outside because the key wont even turn in the hole. Also, the driver side lock only stays unlocked for like 2 seconds because if one lock is locked, both of them have to be locked I guess. So basically I cant open my passenger side door and I kinda wanna know how to fix it if I can. thanks

I know you can't open the door, in the referenced link I posted in this shows steps with the door panel off, but
If you can take the inside door handle apart and and pull the door grip handle and door pull handle cup
that is behind the pull latch out to expose the locking cables you might be able to get a hold of the cables and pull them and get the door open. then you can replace the actuators, and figure out what course of action to do from that point. Here is a link to the door lock: http://www.newtiburon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=123340 and you can reference to the pictures in that thread that hold the cable to the latch. Once you get the latch tab loose just have to grab the metal cable piece upward to get it out of the hole the little 90 degree little bent piece out of the latch. I think if you can get the handle latch and the door locking cable loose you can open the door by pulling these cables. Hoping this helps you.

I have both issues you mentioned that I put in bold. Should I go ahead and replace now while I have a good idea what the cause is. Or should I wait till I get my alarm put on, and see if that takes care of the issue?

Found them for $32.99 US on ebay. And with a DIY and the tools, should be no trouble. If I run into a bind...I know where to come for help. NT!
