Id check the cable from he handle to the door module, prob needs adjusting. Someone might have taken it apart and not put it back together properly.

Also, look for weld marks around the door incase someone's having a laugh......






I'm joking.

No, the end I the cable where it attaches to the exterior door handle. (will have a black plastic tab on it attaching to the 'threaded' handle part)

Failing that you could still rip the door card off and sort it out.
