We are going to have to remove the door panel to find out if the cable for the actuator has fallen off. You will see once it is off how it works but basically the handle pulls the cable and then an actuator releases the latch.

Here is a guide that will help with removing the door panel:

Below you will find the info on how to do this from the manual. Can you please review this info and let us know if you have questions. Thanks
