Third door wont open

Remove the plastic trim on the upper door push down on striker and open door and then take panel off see what broke or came loose

There are some diagrams attached below to help you get the door panel off so you can inspect the latch

It's tight, but you need to get in there and remove the few screws around the panel and then the plastic clips between the door and panel.

The worst part is accessing the part. Because of the design of the door, a lot of the work is done by feel rather than seeing what you are doing.

There should be some scres in door pulls and mayb at bottom of door, they can be taken off with door closed but a pain. Once they are off check for clips broken on door rods, that's the most common cause.

You are most likely correct, the linkage inside is either broken or disconnected. You need to remove the door panel to check the linkage.

Here is a guide that will help with removing the door panel.

You will have to pull the inner panel.
It is simply heald in with plastic clips that are re-usable. You cab purchase a tool to help remove it but a screwdriver or chisel will suffice.
Start by removing all the trim which is heald in by phillips head screws under plastic caps.
Pulling at the panel carefully you may be able to get to the rod that releases the door. Usually the rod comes out of a plastic socket that attaches it to the door handle. It is probably a good idea to replace this as it will come apart again.

It's rare that both inside and outside latches fail at the same time, but it does happen. The only way you will be able to open the door is by removing the inside panel. If you pull out the rear seat you should be able to pull the trim panel out enough to get a hand in and release the latch.
