With Lockzilla disconnected at the smaller connector, no difference using the 
key. Inside latch: I rocked it back and forth a few times, until it sounded 
like a normal unlatching sound. At first, I couldn't push the door open, 
then it finally swung open. Tried the key again, still no good after closing 
the door. But I see the inside latch seemed to have swung over to the unlock 
position. Sooo... how do I check and free up my linkage? I already know how 
to get the door panels off.
