'94 Nissan Quest, driver door won't unlock Sign In

Using the keypad code, I can hear the solenoid click, but it doesn't unlock. The key will rotate in the direction to lock it, but feels jammed when turning it to the unlock direction--it turns partway, but doesn't unlock. Using the inside unlock switch makes all door locks temporarily move to the unlock position, then after a second all lock again. Pulling the door-open latch when the lock is briefly in the unlock position doesn't work--obviously the driver lock is never being moved to the unlock position, either by the keypad, external key, or inside door unlock button. I also can't manually move the inside lock to the unlock position. One other thing, but don't know if this could be related: I can hear the rear hatch door lock solenoid click lock and unlock, but the door itself doesn't even latch closed. The door opens freely without having to pull the latch. Is there a spring inside that doesn't pull the latch closed? Would this issue affect the front door? It doesn't make sense that inability to latch the rear door tight would prevent the driver door from opening by any means.

I figured if I could just take the driver door panel off, I could easily see what the problem is, but without getting the door open, I can't get to all the screws to remove the panel. How can I get the door open so I can take the door panel off? Hopefully without having to call a locksmith. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,

Jim
