I have a 99 chevy SL1500 three door truck. Last night I opened the passenger door and now it won't close. When I viewed the driver's side door, and pushed the little latch up to try to re-create (and fix) the reason the other door would not latch, I now have two doors that will not close. The little latch did not come back down and I couldn't make it work.

Try the easiest way to fix this is to just use the interior door handle and open the latch.

This will release the latch if it is flipped closed.

If this doesn't work then here are a couple guides that will help with this issue:
