its a plastic peice inside the door panel, if you search longer and check archives you'll find thousands of threads on this, Its a problem with FCs and for the most part, japanese cars in general. At any rate if you have parts car you can take for remove the door handle peice and replace the broken/missing peices and you're all set. First time I did this it took over an hour, but most of that time was pend trying to put the damn door back together in working order.

Handle is broken.
Remove it, and it'll be obvious.
Stupid thing breaks at a very bad place, and you really can't weld the break or use some kinda epoxy on it.
You need to buy a new one and replace it.

Remove door skin
This comes the tricky part...
With the window fully up, you can access on of the nuts on the door handle.
You need to get the window all the way down (snap back the power window switch or push on the manual window crank) and then you can access the other nut on the door handle.
Remove linkages on the door handle
The door handle should be loose to remove from the outside.
