Skoda Fabia MK1 Front Passenger Door Jammed Closed

Hi Folks.

I have a Mk 1 Skoda Fabia, 1.2 petrol, manual, 54bhp, 2006, Classic.

I have had problems with the nearside front passenger window not working from both the passenger door switch and the driver door switch.

A local breaker suggested it is more likely to be the motor in the nearside passenger door.

Days before I was about to purchase the window motor, I was getting an intermittent fault with the nearside passenger front door speaker, so I decided to check out the wiring loom between the A pillar and the door. I disconnected the 3 multi pin connectors to check for any breakages in the wires, then I had to answer a phone call in the house, as it was a windy day, I closed the door. After coming back out, I couldn't get the nearside front passenger door open. It seems to have self locked, even though there's no wiring connected to that door. I had to remove the front passenger seat to remove the door card. I have partially removed the carrier panel to get into the lock. With a large screwdriver holding the mechanism up and pulling the door handle simultaneously, it still won't open.

Does anyone know if there's any default codes that keeps this locked when the electrical supply to the lock is cut?

With the door shut, there's no way I can reconnect the multi pin connectors.

Or does anyone have any other suggestions or solutions on how I can get the door unlocked again?

Any advice and suggestions would be much appreciated.

Many thanks, John.
