On my car, the actuator that unlatches the door is electronic and apparently can get "stuck", keeping the door from opening more than a crack.
Fortunately this most recent time I figured out how to fix it, by jamming a screwdriver in there and prying it open. But even then I had to disconnect the battery for a few minutes after to reset the door system. Why things gotta be so complicated? Why can't the latch mechanism be cable driven like, ya know, every other car.
Also there's nothing to grab hold of to shut or open the door from the inside. So I think a manual door conversion isn't possible. But worth looking into for the future.
That’s unfortunate. Our minivan was older so the latch was mechanical, and the handle identical to the previous mechanically opening door
