    It will open from outside but not the inside. No resistance/clicking sound when I pull handle. 20230422_094750.jpg

    Linkage probably came unhooked. Need to take the door panel off and reconnect.

    Sometimes you have to left up and out??? Or there is a hidden screw. Door panels can be the biggest pain to remove.

    there is also always a panel that has to come off, to expose more screws.

    usually a screw driver to pry it off, to get at those hidden screws.

    just do not break that panel.
