I have a 1990 accord with power locks. The driver's side door will not open
and I think it has something to do with the power locks. The lock seems
jammed and , even though it looks like it is unlocked, the door will not
open , as if it were locked. I've tried everything to get the door open but
it won't open. The worst part is, I can't open the door to take a look at
the mechanisms or anything. Any advise would be appreciated.

It's a known issue, but I don't have the document you need first hand.
Here's a discussion from earlier this year on this same subject:

The tech2tech article has precision instructions on how to fix this. I've
read it, but the site doesn't exist anymore. If you are able to get your
hands on the tech2tech article, would you mind sending me a copy? I'm sure
I'll fall victim to this at some point.

Hey, Thanks for posting that Grahame! I wish the library were still around...
