My rear passenger side door lock will not unlock when I unlock all of the other doors. I can't figure out any way to get it open. The only way to get the door panel off is when the door is open so I can't get access to the door lock. Is there any type of override to get the door open so the lock can be serviced?

The door panel can be forced off. The central lock assembly is shot and will require replacement
