Default 2000 Driver door lock damaged.

After using a slim jim to break into my truck. When I use my key to manually unlock the door, it does not work. Door handles interior and exterior work. It stays lock unless I open it from inside. Is this a cylinder/rod situation? I'm dreading taking door apart and not being able to repair it.

You just knocked the lock rod off with the Slim Jim
Usually, that breaks the little plastic clip
Plan on a trip to the junkyard for another good used clip
