take off the door pannel and take out the outside door handel and see what is wrong. every problem isnt always the same thing. every car is diffrent and have diffrent things happen to them. so check out the handel its probably something stupid, u will see.

Constant threat
Happens to me all the time. Just take the outer door handle off by popping off the little triangular plastic piece and removing the 2 ten millimeter nuts. Then just liberally lube the **** out of the linkages in and on the handle and on down into the door.
Believe me, I have to do this a couple of times a year.

no i figured it out guys...i just removed the outer door handle and i found that the 2 metal pieces that move with the plastic handle being turned has worn away over time...stupid *** plastic....well i am going to put fiberglass and build back up the spot so it will catch again then i am going to extend the metal piece that catches it so it wont wear away the new built up piece thanks anyways guys
