How can I get my passenger door to unlock?
It started when my wife close the door and it didn't catch as it was closed. I told her to hold it (door) and I pressed the locks from the driver side. Once I unlocked the doors again the door would not open. The lock still engages but the door handles will not unlatch the door. I've tried the inside and outside handle of the passenger door with no avail.

That is correct. The door will not open at all no matter how I try to open it.

its tricky but you can remove the door panel without damaging it. remove the boltsthat secure it by the release handle and arm rest. lift up to release it from the door. DO NOT pull out wards to release it. then you should be able to get at the latch to see if something came disconnected if not release the latch and replace it
