Exclamation Drivers Door Stuck!!!!

Today I went golfing, closed the door as normal and it was fine. I came back and the drivers door would not open!

The door lock works fine. Opens and closes. But when I pull on the handle from the inside or outside it seems like it is still locked and there is no resistance like it is jammed or something!

Any suggestions to why the handles are not unlatching the door, but button inside is saying its unlocked??

You have a problem with the latch mechanism.

I figured it was the door latch. The linkage looks fine. I removed the handle cover and there is still tension to it. However any suggestions on getting to it? The only think I can think of is taking off the quater panel and removing the door. Otherwise, since the door won't open, I can't remove the door panel or can I??...

Any more suggestions would be awesome!
