Could it really be that easy?

After reading someone mentioned it was probably a safety mechanism and I believe that’s true I got mine passenger door to unlock by holding the door lock button down in the lock position for a few seconds and then on hold it to unlock it for a few seconds ,,,,,so hold the inside door locking mechanism mechanism button down for a few seconds then hold it up for a few seconds this should fix it

Man, that's good information to have from Gary's post in the thread you linked Heel. I didn't realize there was some kind of door actuator safety lock-out. It looks like maybe it's some kind of tamper proof security setting that activates or possibly happens from improper installation of door lock components (like if something was replaced and then re-installed out of order/sequence).
I would for sure try the solution mentioned in the post: https://my350z.com/forum/exterior-an...-position.html
Worst case scenario, the mechanical lock will need to be jimmy'd with a coat hanger or other tool. If you have access to a bi-directional scan tool (With similar features as Consult-II), you can try sending lock/unlock commands through the BCM (Body Control Module). I have an XTOOL D8, and I'm able to access pretty much every advanced function supported on my 350Z. This tool has paid for itself 3-4 times over now in the course of the year I've owned it.

...I tried what was said in post #11 of this thread and it worked. I held the passenger lock in the lock position for 5 seconds and then in the unlock for 5 seconds. It works fine now. I hope it helps more people since these seems to be a pretty common problem! Thank you Gary Schmitz for the simple solution! I don't believe your post got enough credit!
Cheers!
