Default 1994 Sedan Driver’s side door wont open

hi, recently purchased a 1994 accord. The driver’s side door will not open from the inside or out, nor will the window roll up or down. the window is currently down, struggling to find any guides on this generation or year to pry off the door while closed. any help is appreciated, thanks!

The power window and stuck/broken door latch are two separate issues. I think getting the door to unlatch would be step 1. You'llpull the B-pillar plastic (where the seatbelt is attached) then pull back the driver's door panel as much as possible. Then you'd have to go in with a pick to release the latch. This will be tedious, but it is doable. There are some youtube videos on this. Drilling could work, but I don't recall seeing an exact location to drill on the 94.

For the power window, does the window switch operate the other windows?

Hey, thanks for the response. I managed to get the door panel off. What latch exactly do I need to pick? From what I can tell, the inside and outside door handles are working properly, and the lock seems to work fine.

For the power windows, they open the passenger and rear passenger. just not the drivers side. the rear drivers side does roll up and down with the button on its door. i believe its the actuator given the buzzing sound

There is a youtube video from briansmobile1 where he gets the door to open by pulling on a bar on the door latch. You'll have to watch the video to locate. His video is on a civic, but the accord should be similar on the part you need to pull.
