Had the same happen to mine. Got it open by banging the outside of the door with my hand around the handle while locking and unlocking it with the key fob. '04 td6 se

WD40 has done nothing yet. I'll try the banging approach later on. I'm wondering if i can remove the screws and partially prise off the door car to get some access to the lock, even if its only to get a WD40 straw closer to where it needs to be. Looking at the drivers door i'm thinking this is a complete no go with the door locked.

make sure your battery is good and fully charged, this made a big difference on one of mine - insufficient kick in the actuator to force the button up.

Around the pop up button on the door is a black circular plastic trim.

Tried it with the engine running. Revved the car quite high so alternator would be putting out good voltage and operated the dash button repeatedly. No luck |

Definitely seems to be a common problem. Admittedly those smarter than me rectify it before it gets this bad :]
