Very common problem happens, when you pull a door handle on the outside to get it and the door won't open. It's a broken wire at a microswitch in the door handle mechanism.

Symptoms are the handle presents normally, when it should.. but pulling it does nothing. And using the interior handle to pull and open the door works.

With cars coming off warranty, and ranger calls charging by the mile, maybe you want to tackle this one yourself... for pennies or nothing... but for your time.

I made a video on the problem and how to repair it.
