1998 Oldsmobile Silhouette, 3.4L 6 cyl. 2 wheel drive. Location is Missouri.

At times it has been hard to open, like it is stuck. Now, it won't open at all. It is unlocked.

The handle moves, feels like maybe the handle is not attached to whatever it is supposed to be attached to in order to open the door.

Can't try opening from the inside because the child safety lock is turned to the on position.

Was wondering if it is possible to remove the door panel while the door is closed. If so, is there a good website that shows how or a book that I can purchase at AutoZone or somewhere?

Thanks in advance for any help.

This happened to a relative too. It's extremely difficult to close and it can only be opened with the engine off.

Maybe this website can help.
