If you have pwr door locks? spread the door from the jamb with a couple screw drivers enough to and try to hit the door lock switch with a thin, stiff stick.
Place a large screwdriver in the Latch (on the end of the door), and while lifting your inside or outside door handle (make sure the door's unlocked), move the screwdriver out until the hook re-opens. If this doesn't work, it sounds like the rods and plastic retainers within the door have come loose, which will entail the removing of the door panel. Should it come to that, then in moving the door openers (both inside and out), you will see which rod fell out of what and just snap it into place. Sometimes this occurs when you need assistance with keys locked in car and a "slim-jim" is used to pop the lock...the slim-jim will knock the door linkages off. If this be the case, contact the Wrecker Service that unlocked your car. For future reference, a good Wrecker driver will always go through the front right passenger door for "lock-outs."
you will have to barrow or purchase a (slim jim) door opening tool auto zone or advance auto parts stores carry them,and use it from the outside slip it in between the glass down to the lock mechanism.it seems like the spring at the lock is broken.
Do you have the external keypad? If not, find someone with a slim jim. Slide it between the glass and door, hook the latch lever inside the door, and pull up. I don't remember if Ford put the steel bar in the door in 1996 to block access to the latch. One warning, you may break the locking mechanism using this method.
