Passenger door won't close, just swings to, but does not latch.

There is a chance that the latch just got flipped so try and open the inside door handle then close it. Meaning just pull the handle on the inside of the door like you were opening the door and that will open the latch.

If that does not work then here is a guide that will help with this:

If none of this works then I suspect we will need to remove the latch and replace it.

We don't have a manual on your vehicle that shows how to do this but here is another guide that will help get the door panel off and that will get you access to it:

Let's run through this material and go from there. Thanks
