Hi, rencently my drivers door broke, The lock got to a point it wouldn't unlock from outside, then, I could only open it from inside handle. All of a sudden the door handles just arent working, is there a way to fix this or do I have to replace the entire door unit? Please tell me this isn't too expensive, I just paid the car off 9 months early cause I bought a house.

i would suggest pulling the panel and following the linkage from the handle and the lock and make sure they are connected. they have small plastic retainers which the linkage slides into which also cnnects to linkage
