Hey guys.
Got a issue with my passenger side door. The door lock in the door is fine. The door opens fine from the inside. But when u try to open it from the outside it won't open. How can i fix this? Would anything have to be replaced or is there anything broken? Or does anyone know what happend and will shed some light on how i can fix this myself?

Sounds like the little bent wire piece that attaches your door handle to the locking mechanism has come adrift. It's held on by a small plastic clip which can break or get dislodged sometimes, particularly if someone has been trying to open your door via the bottom of the window . Take off the interior door panel and have a look behuind the door handle to see if anything is just hanging. Open and close the door handle to check what moves. Check this with another door if unsure what should be moving.
the person who ever decided that door handle mechanisms should be all held together by a little piece of plastic should be shot. every car i've owned that's had plastic bits has had at least one broken and they're a bitch to replace, if you can even get new ones
