Interior door handle fixed. Not a lot of info on these models on line. Found a similar model on YouTube and gave it a shot.
Disconnect the battery negative terminal.
Remove the plastic "airbag" badge at the upper middle and the rectangular plastic cover at the upper rear of the door (passenger door. Upper right on driver's door) Both of these covers pop off with a bone tool and reveal torx bolt.
Bone tool again to pop out the inner door grip, just to the rear of the window switches. Another torx revealed. Then pop out the panel with the window switch and disconnect the plug.
Bone tool again, pry just behind the window vent at the leading edge of the window. Snaps will release. Then the rest is prying the panel from the rear to the bottom to the front. Lot's of plastic snaps. Last is at the top edge. It doesn't lift off but there are more snaps.
The panel is free. The wiring for the speakers doesn't need to be bothered. I found that the cable from the inner door handle to the lock had simply fallen off. Slipped the ball end back into it's place, added a little safety wire to keep it from popping out again and reversed the process.
