You need to remove the inner door panel on that door. After it is removed check that the rod to the door handle is still hooked up, You may find that it is connected but broken off the door handle itself. If that is the case install a new outer door handle on that door, hook the rod up and it should work.

2014 Kia Cee'd - back door (passenger side) and boot does not open with fob. Boot will open with it's own fob button but cannot open the passenger door. Is there a reset or replace fob battery.

sounds like you have 2 differant issues! but maybe one cause first the passenger door latch has failed or the wiring to it as gone open circuit poss inside the door wiring grommet because its got a double locking system so to unlock the passenger doors and boot you normally have to press the unlock button twice so perhaps the locking module is confused sort out the passenger latch first it then it should return to normal operation good luck

Driver Side Door wont open from inside or outside. also passenger side door wont close! Help

On the passenger door,make sure the latch isn't in the closed position(have someone pull on the handle while pulling the latch mechanism with a screwdriver)The drivers side is gonna be interesting.You might be able to get at the door latch mechanism by rolling the window all the way down,and use a coathanger or similar tool to operate the linkage levers that way.

Driver's side door latch doesn't open the door from the inside. What s the fix?

If the outside Latch is working then the release bar attached to the interior latch has become disconnected. You will need to open up the door panel and see if the bar has just fallen off or if the latch has broken and needs replaced. If you need an example to look at either get the Haynes repair manual on the vehicle or open the passenger door up as well and compare the two sides.

Sliding door fails to latch

There is no "switch". The Sliding Doors should be manual anytime you try to open or close them. If not: then there is problem in the electronic system or the physical/mechanical side where something is jamming the door from opening or closing.
