Bobby,? ? There is a spring on the outside of the latch assembly that keeps a lever pressed up against the outside door handle button. It's likely that the spring broke, and the lever flopped away from the button. Look for the spring at the bottom of the door. Since the door panel is off, you should be able to reach in and push the lever out by hand.? ? The spring, the Door Push Button Lock Knob Spring, is available from Classic, and probably others, for a couple of bucks each. If that is what it wrong with yours, change both sides.? ? Andy? ?
