A slim Jim can sometimes be used to unlock jammed power locks, particularly in older vehicles with simpler locking mechanisms. However, modern cars often have more complex electronic systems that a slim Jim cannot manipulate effectively. Additionally, using a slim Jim improperly can damage the vehicle's wiring or locking system. It's generally safer and more effective to use professional tools or call a locksmith for assistance.

The repair isn't typically TOO difficult, the worst part is getting the door trim off the inside.
