I had the same problem on my 2000 coupe. It turned out to be the door release mechanism. (as opposed to the button in the console, the wiring, the fuse, etc.) I had it fixed under warranty, so i can't give you a price for the part.

I hope this helps

To check the switch, remove it from the console, not a hard job, and connect the two wires. If the door still does not open, the likely problem is the actuator.
