The problem may be that the handel is not connected to the linkage. Take off the door interior by removing the 2 screws, one in the middle of the movable handle behind the plastic fitting, and the other on the actual handle behind the other plastic fitting. NOTE: take the plastic fittings off with a flat head screwdriver. Check to see if the linkage is connected to the handle correctly, also check to ensure all electrical plugs are securly fastened.
