Default Mondeo passenger door won't open

I have 1988 Ghia x Mondeo and the passenger door wont open from the inside or outside.

Central locking, key or inside handle don't work. I have manged to partially remove the door card and see the lock. None of the handle linkages are detached or broken. How can I open the door?

Thanks for your response.

It is covered with a white plastic cover that I can't remove. Should I smash it? Is the lever visible or is it behind the lock?

Down the side of the door? I can't open the door.

Smile Passenger Door Won't Open

My problem was that the passenger door on my Mondeo would not open from the outside --- only from inside the car . After reading some tips here I found that if you place your right hand on the door above the handle , push the door and at the same time pull on the handle it releases the catch and the door will open ! Ta Darr !!!
