My Passenger front door will not open from the outside. It will open fine from

outside?

The outside plastic door handle connects to a cable that actuates the door lock. Most of the time the plastic handle breaks right where the cable attaches. You'll have to remove the inner door panel to see what's going on. (You might be able to look up under the outside handle to see if anything is broken as well.) If the handle or cable is broken you can get a replacement at a salvage yard, like Pull A Part. Much cheaper than buying online or the dealership. If you've never removed a door panel before watch some Youtube vids to get the basics.
