Door won't latch closed

I have a 2001 manual VR6.

While driving to work today, the usual door lock when you start moving thing happened but it made an odd noise on my driver's side door. I went to close my door when I parked for work and it just bounced back...

The door won't lock or unlock. The button won't press down and neither the key fob or the door switch will move it. It just makes this grindy buzzy sound. I tried messing with the striker on the door latch to no avail. I know I'm probably going to have to take off the door panel but I don't have a manual or anything.

Does anyone have a diagram to take off the door panel and maybe even the inner workings of the door so I don't break stuff on my way in for surgery?

Course this happens on my birthday...
