- Broken Door Handle: Inspect the outside door handle for any visible damage or breakage. If the handle is cracked or broken, it will need to be replaced.
- Faulty Door Lock Actuator: The door lock actuator is responsible for locking and unlocking the door when the handle is turned. If the actuator is faulty, it will prevent the outside handle from working properly.
- Disconnected Linkage: There is a linkage that connects the outside door handle to the door lock actuator. If this linkage is disconnected or damaged, it will prevent the handle from working properly.
To diagnose the exact cause of the issue, it is recommended to have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic or automotive technician. They will be able to accurately identify the problem and recommend the appropriate repair solution.
