Remove the inside door panel to observe what is broken/disconnected
To remove pop off the top plastic cover. Pop off the door handle and power window covers. Next you will need to remove 4 screws. One at the top of the door that was behind the plastic part, one at the lower corner of the door behind a little round screw cover, and the last 2 are holding the door pull to the door.
Now you will need to slide the panel straight up it has to go up to get it off.

The most common failure is a fitting on the latch cable that engages with the latch, The fitting is made of plastic and it dry-rots and crumbles. It looks sorta like a cigarette holder with a groove around it, and it holds the cable stationary while a small ball on the end of the cable actuates the latch itself. There's an aftermarket product made that will work but it's a pita to replace. Try to locate a new latch cable. Either that or buy the entire latch assembly, which I'm pretty sure is a dealer-only part.
