4th Generation Door Handle doesnt work!!?

Okay, so today i just found out that my passenger side door handle doesn't work. I have to open it from the inside to let people in my car.

Can anyone help me, or tell me how to fix it? When i pull the handle, it feels loose. Like when i pull a handle on a different door, i can feel it has some resistance to it. Also, on the passenger side handle, i can pull it up farther than any other handle. Im thinking there is a wire or rod that is attached to the handle that might have broken off or something.

If so, is there a part number to it, or is there an easy way of fixing it.

Thanks!!

I had this problem the other month...
In my door, it ended up being a rod that slips out of a hole in the outside of the door handle. I took the door apart, and put the rod back in, and it has been fine ever since (2 months and counting) To get to it, keep the door window up and look in the cavity. Feel around for the exterior door handle and make sure there is a metal rod in it.
Since I had the door apart I also took the opportunity to upgrade my speakers. It was well worth it.
