Passenger door handle inside broken

My passenger door wont open from the inside but will open from the outside im pretty sure its the spring but i was wondering if there was a quick fix for it or if i need a new hand or latch arm if somebody could help me please!

Yea easy fix, need to do a junkyard run and get a good handle with a good tight spring, but most likely the plastic part failed that connects the handle to the latch linkage (as the spring only returns the handle). You will need to pull of the arm rest, window crank, the cup for the broken handle and carefully pop off the door panel revealing the latch handle. One screw and then the handle moves to the opening and you turn it to slide off the metal linkage. reverse to install the newer one and you're good

Pull the handle and check the roll pin that acts as the pivot. Mine has done this several times and I finally picked up a spare handle.

The pin wears out and eventually slips down and out of the plastic, and then the "action" starts tilting just enough for the plastic gears to do nothing but slip when you pull the handle. The fix for mine? Force the handle (it's actually pretty easy) back to its own normal position, and drive the roll pin back up into the housing. Takes a few tries if you've never done it before.

Otherwise a replacement handle runs around $5 to $40 at a salvage yard. (our U Pull yard did mine for $3. The local truck scrap yard where the owner thinks everything is gold plated? Wants about $35 for the same thing)
