First take out any screws you can get to and pry out the memory seat panel from the back. With the window down, I was able to pry the top of the inner door panel up and away from the lip that it sits on. Until I was successful with this I honestly did not know if this could be done without breaking it. Luckily it has enough play.
I then inserted some wedges to keep the opening as wide as possible while I shined a light down there to inspect. The rest of the fix as described in my 3/23/05 post should be self explanatory. I hope this helps. Give us an update when you are successful or if you need a better description. Good luck.

Following your advice I was able to pry the top of the inner door panel off of its lip, affording me about 3 inches of space to look into the door. Where exactly is the latch mechanism? Is it located to the far right of the driver's side door handle . . . the box covered with hard, opaque plastic? I'm not exactly sure how to get this off or how to switch the lock mechanism to "unlock." Thanks a lot for your help.
