After closing and locking the doors, the side door will no longer open. It appears to be jammed and not getting electricity to the door lock. The red manual opening lever won't budge, so the side door is not useable at this time.

You need to remove the door panel to determine what has happened. Chances are the linkage has either broken or has come apart. I would remove the seats in the front to help gain access.

Have you checked fuses? Can you hear anything when you press the window switch?
