Passenger door won't open
Question(s)?
Is the problem mechanical or electrical. When you activate the electrical switch to unlock the door, do you hear the door actuator attempting to unlock the door? Is there a difference with key fob vs. a release while sitting in the vehicle and pushing a door unlock switch. If the electronics are releasing, is the door handle mechanically not releasing the door latch?
Electronic: You have the door switches on both doors, a control module on each door, an actuator for each door, and a door locking relay (1) for both doors. Start by checking fuses: Passenger side, fuse #2-10amp, #4-5amp, #15-25amp driver door fuse box, #15-25amp passenger fuse box.
You should be able to isolate if it is electronic.
Mechanical: If it is a situation where the passenger door handle itself is not releasing the lock mechanism, it may be necessary to remove the interior door panel and check the mechanical rod which activates the lock mechanism.

Hi thanks for the reply. I will check the fuses first. It all seemed to start with the car alarm going off whenever I locked the doors with the key or fob. I found if I locked the passenger door from inside by pushing the lever in, exiting from the drivers side and then locking with the fob, the alarm did not go off. But since doing that the passenger door wont open at all
