i have a problem with my 2003 driver door it wont open from the inside or outside can anybody give me some info on this probkem would be great thank you
 
Something must have got unhooked, or broke internally with the latch system. Usually you just pull the inner door panel off, and then you can get a look at the latch system. But being that you cannot open the door from the inside, or outside, i dunno how to even tell you to start on this one.
 
I had this problem with one of my cars once. Turned out that some of the rubber that prevents direct metal on metal contact had twisted inside the latching mechanism between the doors. I ended up basically just pounding on the door with my fist to try and loosen up whatever was blocking it (I didn't know at the time), after about 30 minutes of pounding, trying, pounding trying, I got it open, the shaking moved it just enough to get it unlatched. Then I could see the issue and fix it.

Good luck. It sucks when this happens.
