Left rear door will not open

I have a 2006 chevy impala, with electric door locks. I just found out I can't open the left rear door from the outside or the inside. When I unlock the doors all of the door lock buttons go to the open position and all of the other doors I can open using either handle. I'M not sure how to work on this being that I can't open the door to get the panel off.
