Default Can't open driver door from outside.

Yes, I did a search. All I was able to find was the driver's door not being able to be opened at all because of the locking mechanism failing. But, that's not the case. I can't open the driver's door only from the outside. And ideas?

Either the the handle broke, or the rod came off or the latch is stuck.
Need to take the door panel off to determine which.

Exactly. Pull the Door Panel and check the Linkage.

One of the plastic brackets that holds the rod in place for the outside door handle broke. Got it fixed now. Thanks for the help guys.
