What happens when you use the key in the lock?

Sounds like the rod across to the latch is disconnected if the key doesn't work. Or the actual latch mechanism is broken/jammed.
It's not the most complex/sophisticated setup, based on my memory of replacing a faulty latch. But getting at it is a different issue....

Have you tried both locks, driver's door and boot?
