You didn't tell whether you have a crew cab or reugular cab because you will need to check all the doors. The culprit on my pickup was the right rear door on a crew cab. First try some good penatrating oil on the latch, sometimes you have to wait a while for it to work in, then try shutting the door hard-not necessasarily slamming it-and see what happens. If that doesn't work you will have to remove the door panel and disconnect the wire to that latch. hope this helps.

Sometimes using a hammer to give the latch several taps will free it up

Same prob once on my rig. I cleaned the electrical contacts on the latch with spray electrical cleaner, havent had a problem since. They tend to get dusty and grimy, lube might add to the problem. Try the cleaner, hope this helps.
