Won't open from the inside, outside, or both?

I know what I'd do, I'd trace the cables from the door release solenoids back with a meter, to see if the opening pulse is being sent by the control box at all.

A test meter or one of those screwdrivers with a bulb inside and an earth wire/crox clip sticking out would be useful here.

Start with the cable to the solenoid inside the door pillar (pull off inside trim), see if there's a pulse there. If not, see if there's a pulse at the outputs of the control box. If not, see if its getting an input, etc.

But then again I'm an electronics engineer, I know that this might be a bit daunting for someone not used to electrics.

Did you try adjusting the proximity switch at the bottom of the door? If the switch is not making a circuit, the controller will think the door is open and won't send a signal to release the door latch.
