Rear power and door cylinder lock broken. How to get in?

[blue2182]

Have a 95 Tahoe. The front and rear passenger door locks work fine with remote. The rear swinging doors do not. At first, when I was unable to get in, I could here the switch under the dash and I could hear the motor trying to unlock the doors. Now, all I hear is the switch under the dash.
Here are the biggest problems. The rear key lock is broken so i cant unlock the door this way. Neither the remote or the door panel unlock button will open the rear door.

Since I know the motor was initially working, albeit at an incomplete level, I will assume the motor has worn out and likely needs replacing, and since the rear lock cylinder is broken, I cant get in that way. There is no internal escape hatch button for the rear doors that I know of and no way to get at the rear door panels because I believe you need to have the doors open to access them, now what.
I can think of some destructive ways to get in but am hoping that someone else has an idea. I could cutaway the back door carpeted panel and hopefully access it that way or I might be able to drill the rear door hinges and pull the door off that way. I would rather not do this. Suggestions please. Thank you, William

Does yours have the lock/unlock button on the rear pillar? On the passenger side near the roof? Try that if it does, if not it looks like your calling a locksmith.

No, it does not have a button anywhere in the rear that I can find. I would have thought that they would have had an interior escape mechanism in case of frontal crash, besides trying to break windows.
What do you think about drilling the hinges and removing to get the doors apart and open

Hmm, maybe they put it on later 90s models. If you crawl into the back you can probably remove the door panel and open it manually. Or remove the handle
