Whether I use remote or door controls, the passenger side doors won't unlock. You can see them budge like the electrical part is working. What should I look for first?

More than likely the rods that go from the door lock actuator to the lock by the door handle are sticking in the plastic clips. They are originally lubed with i believe white lithium grease, they get gummed up with dirt and crud over the years.
Take the door panel off and look for the white clips that the rods snap into and remove them. Clean them up and relube with a light coat of white lithium grease. If you've never removed the door panel, I'm sure there's info on how to do it on here or in a YouTube video. Good luck!

Is it both passenger side doors?

Does repeatedly hitting the unlock button slowly raise the lock tab in the door

Neither of my inside door lock buttons work. I suppose I'll end up removing the door cards to see if I can work on the switches to clean them up. If that's not doable, then the search for new switches will commence.
