When I pull on the outside door handle to open the passenger door, it will not open. I have removed the inside door frame and see a rod that is loose.

Do you know of any instructions on how to repair the inside rod?

A year and model always help narrow things like this down. :) The rod somehow came off of it's mate. There may or may not be a clip that fell off. Check for it in the bottom of the door.

Good hunting and post back.

Suggested Repair

The loose rod likely came off its mating point. Check the bottom of the door for a clip that may have fallen off, then reconnect the rod to its mate.
