Default 1986 Porsche 928 passenger door lock solenoid stuck

The passenger door is closed and locked via the locking motor. The locking mechanism is not released to the manual key or inside lock ****.
I have tried many ideas to unlock the door. My last resort is to cut open the inside door panel to.get to the locking mechanism.
Before I do that, I would like some new ideas from someone who has had the same problem.

Just a thought, can the motor be reversed by finding the feed wires at the CE and reversing the polarity?

Jim --

Disconnect the battery, rear luggage boot, ground strap connects to the rear apron behind the tool panel. With the battery disconnected, the lock solenoid won't be trying to relock the door. Use your key or the **** to unlock, then open the door normally and you'll have access to remove the door panel "the normal way", with wrench and screwdriver.

And --- drum roll.... Welcome to Rennlist!
