Have you checked the fuel filler cap?

No, I'm not joking - some cars with sliding doors have an interlock switch that locks the door when the filler cap is removed.

It's there so nobody can open the sliding door onto the fuel pump nozzle whilst you're filling up with fuel.

So if the filler cap isn't seated correctly, the door won't unlock
