Remove the plastic cover around the lock lever.
Spray a light penatrating oil (wd-40) in and around the lock
leaver mechanisim and work the mechanisim up and down several times.
This should free up the small gravity lock inside the mechanism.

I found this in Google search here: http://www.topix.com/forum/autos/for...42ERNK9KCQVKVB

Hope this helps out!!!

One of mine was like that. Turns out my interior handle was broken. Some piece of plastic broke on the inside of the handle, so the door would not open from the inside. I ordered a new handle from Rockauto.com and installed it in about five minutes. Works perfectly.

Your handle may be broken. When you take off the door panel and everything, pull the inside handle and see if anything moves, if it doesn't it may be broke. You can always take plastic handle off and inspect it...it's just a clip and a couple screws that hold it on.
