Yeah the latch has quite a few moving parts in it. Probably best to pop your door card off and see if the link rods etc are jamming it. You may nee to remove both side door cards to compare the working one to the dead one.

Should be something simple though. May just need a good clean and lube.

Have you tried manually testing the latch by pushing on the tongue with your finger? It could be that the mechanism is fine but the door hinges have sagged slightly so that it's out of alignment. There's adjustment (play) in the strike and latch to realign this if I remember correctly.
