SOURCE: How do I fix a broken outer door handle on he drivers side?

Is there anything connecting the handle to the door latch assembly? Is the lock cylinder in the key hole and secured? It just sounds like the linkage may have slipped off the door handle

Driver side doors do not open from outside, inside handles operate appropriately. outside handles were pulled with force after recent ice storm. I am guessing a linkage in the door has been broken or...

The repair will require removal of the door panel and adjustment/replacement of the rod that connects the outside handle to the lock mechanism, or replacement of the handle itself.

Driver's door

If the problem is only with one door, it is not a fuse, it is a problem with the locking mechanism on that door. However, you said that it will not open from the inside. It could be that the handle is broken. Will it open from outside with the key and handle manually? If yes, then you need to replace the handle on the interior side.

i hope this sets you in the right direction,

Driver side door i can not open from outside

The outside door handle linkage has come off, probably due to a broken clip inside the door. This needs to be replaced.
