Off the interwebs,

There is a plastic bung in the lower part of the inner door. Prise this off and use a long flat screwdriver to try and locate the lever and actuate it manually.

Thank you Viper1350 . the problem is it's tha backdoor . I cannot get the door panneling off only partially and managed to get my arm in there to loosen the actual door handle and take it off and tried working through the doorhandle hole.
I managed to loosen the sgrews on the plastic doorlock mechanism but cannot get the plastic covering it off. Moeg gesukkel

I can only imagine. It could be something as simple as a fuse that's gone, but I'm assuming you've already checked that since you've removed paneling to try get to the actuator.

Unfortunately, I don't have any advice for you boet :thumbdown:
