I find that a nice stick of dynamite works well.
However, if it were me, I would open the panel of door. I know it is a pain in the *** with out being able to open the door but give her a shot anyway.
Go to where the acutator is at and check to see if you can take a screw drive and release the latch.
If your confused check to see is a local pick and pull, or pull it yourself junkyard has a discovery and go look at the door on that unit. It it has a door acutator, you might want to buy it, it should be under 20 bucks. The nice thing about looking at theirs is you can figure hack that door.
If not a quarter stick should open her nicely.

Got it!
I gave up on ever using my rear door again and just forgot about it for a couple of months. After months of grief from my wife, I decided I'd give it one more try. I completely coated every inch of the lock with Ballistol and let it soak over night. Next day I wedged my hand in the door and yanked and jerked on every piece of metal, while at the same time kicking the door while my wife pulled on the exterior handle. I wish I could say what I did to free it but I have no idea what it was. All I know is that it finally was open and I replaced the lock!!! Works great now and I pray I NEVER have to deal with that again. Thanks for everyone's help and suggestions!!
