Hello,

This issue is possibly due to a bad door lock actuator. It likely has an internal malfunction that is not allowing the door to unlock.

In order to replace the actuator, the door panel needs to be removed. Which is held on by few screws and several plastic fasteners.

Here is a helpful guide:

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
