If I understand you right the door is opened and won't close because the latch is tripped. Lift up on the door handle and take your finger or a screw driver and move the latch to the open position
Try disconnecting your battery and reconnecting it this should reset the door.
Just going by the question...I would say that the latch has gotten in "the closed door position". Be sure that the door is unlocked. With your finger lift out on the latch on the end of the door and use the door handle to "open" the door latch.
Replace the door latch.
passenger side. open the passenger door, look on the side wall that is covered when the door is closed.
put a new latch in If the car has been setting for a while I would start by spraying some wd40 on the latch mechanism ,if that don't help try adjusting the striker and the door alignment Get the door open, pull the panel, adjust latch manually to diagnose or if replacement is needed
The only way I found is to rotate the door latch that closes around the striker so the truck thinks the door is closed
left door latch is broke
