Default Drivers side broken locking mechanism

Hi Dodge Vanners!

I have an '85 Ram B250 and when I insert the key into the drivers side door it wont turn to the right. The door still opens and closes when locked/unlocked from the inside but won't unlock from the outside. It was suggested I take the lining off and take a look at the lock inside the door but sadly I don't really have a clue where to start with that...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

Open the door, and see what it takes to remove the inner door panel. Depending on what options you have, you may need to special tools for that exercise. I would suspect it is something as simple as the lock rod fell off.
