I just had my door handle break off with the child lock engaged as well. I got the door open without removing any door panels. Once the handle is broke off there are two square holes. One toward the back and one towards the front door. You will need a piece of wire. I used a small wire tie but a coat hanger would probably work as well. Make a loop in the end of the hanger and slide it into the rear hole. Once inside lift it up towards the top while pulling it forward or out of the hole. It will take a couple tries but there is a small white plastic peg type piece that it will catch on and pull outwards then the door latch will release allowing the door to open. It helps if the window is down so you can pull the door open. Good luck.

Are you saying the door handle is broken off? Then you must remove the door panel from the inside with the door closed, it is difficult but can be done by most deals with seasoned techs that have done it before.

the door panel should be held on with maybe 3-5 screws once you remove the screws there will be plastic clips holding the panel on you may have to pull on the panel a little bit to free the clips (you may break a few of the clips, this is not a big deal they are very cheap and can be found at almost any parts store). once door panel is loose unplug the wiring harness's in the door, remove panel. it is fairly simple to un-bolt the old window motor, unplug it and place the new one in and plug it in. last replace your wiring and door panel

the linkage behind the handle either the retaining clip broke or popped off need to remove the door panel to check and fix
Testimonial: "Thanks I thought it might be a cable or linkage. Much thanks"

Hello! This is a well known problem with Cobalt's...And yes, there is a child safety feature which activated turns into an unsafe feature...GM is aware of the issue but has chosen to sweep it under their rug...I'm working on a solution, but have someone who is mechanically inclined remove the inside door panel...It has to come off...and will be difficult working around the passenger seat; But it can be done...The inner door panel is held in by snap clips and a few screws...Use a wide thin blade wood chisel to pry along the edges popping them loose one at a time...Once the panel is off send a comment...I will have a method to unlock soon...Guru...Saailer
