Our 2002 passenger side door would not open or close. Resetting the doors was the first thing I tried. Good advice. Had to force it open, the door had one bent/damaged pin/contact on the door frame Contact Assembly. I literally removed the damaged pin/contact on the Sliding Door Contact Assembly. Drastic, but it was a hobson's choice. It opens/closes from the switch on the dash and manually but not with the key fob. Have not searched a replacement in the boneyards, yet. They're north of $130 new. Inspect all the contacts to determine that none are not damaged. The car's not here, can't see pix. Interesting avatar you have, anyway, good luck.
