Sounds like the switch is broken. There are two wires plugged into the switch. Connecting the two wires for a second will open the door. There is also a metal tab connected to the release mechanism on the door itself. Reach down behind the edge of the rear vertical carpet where it meets the rear left panel. You should be able to feel the tab on the top of the latch. Slide it towards the rear and the door should open.
