iirc you can still take the door panel off from the inside, although its tight as hell, then you can get to what you need.

I second removing the panel with the door closed. It can be done without breaking anything. Once the panel is off you can take off the power lock solinoid and get the door unlocked. Good Luck

Follow this link to fix your door lock actuator problems Mustang Door Lock Actuator Retrofit

Stuck with door lock actuators that don't work and don't want to pay the $50+ for a new one? Tried the junkyard ones and found that they last six months and freeze up?

A new actuator for less than $5. Fix one side for $18, do both sides for only $25. I don't sell parts, I don’t make any money off of the upgrade, I just tell you how to do it cheaply and easily.

Here’s a picture of the new actuator installed:
