I find that many times the true symptoms are not reported fully or correctly, making it difficult to fault find. The first step is to try the key, if that does not work, as you say, it probably is the CDL if neither the interior or inertia switch will work. There seems to be contact closure within the CDL, as the solenoids are trying to work, which indicates a high resistance within the CDL.

What I did was make a slipknot with some picture-hanging wire and guide it onto one of the lock posts with a length of hanger wire. Slowly tightening this noose allowed me to securely grip the groove in the lock post and pull it up, unlocking the door.
