Broken door: HELP

Broken door: HELP
i just took off my broken door handle on the driver side, and installed the new unit. have connected the exposed rods correctly, as they were connected to the old handle.
problem: i can open the door from the inside as always, but the exterior latch (handle) doesn't engage anything when i pull up on it.
it's like the rods should be connected to something down inside the door. did i pull something loose (off) when i removed the old handle? i gave it hell...
HELP- I am so tired of opening the door from the passenger side!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANKS!

I have the same problem but am too cheap to fix it.
I took it apart one day to see what exactly what was wrong but I couldn't tell what was broken.
My latch is the same way, doesn't engage anything and just flops up and down.
I'll fix it when my girlfriend finally lays the smackdown.

I need to check with Ray at Malloy and see if I can get just a door handle. The rest of the mechanism is fine. It would be nice to have a spare.

Well it makes me feel alittle better (not really) to see that i am not the only one hopping into the passenger seat and then walking around my car evrytime i am away from it to long to leave the window down.
hey SBI what do you mean door poppers? Like, push a button on your security remote and the doors pop open......and go shusshhh?

That was the same thing mine was doing before it broke. My passenger side handle quit working so I took the door panel off and put some wire ties through the hole in the rod and it has worked ever since.
