[QUOTE="Stan Faullin, post: 920933, member: 68608"] Yours is a common problem, and my 2001 had the same problem. I just fixed it last week. Do a search in the board, and you will find some good information on solving it. In particular, I remember two very good posts on the subject. General info: There is a spring that connects from the exterior door handle to a rod inside the door. That spring (or the attachment point on the door handle) breaks. The solution is to install a new spring in the proper location. I used a "Ford Throttle Return" spring from Autozone, and it fit very nicely. A pack of two springs was $4.99. There are some good pictures of exactly what needs to be done. Keep looking if you don't find. Searching the forum can be difficult sometimes. If you have problems finding it, send me a message - I have a PDF copy of the instructions. [/QUOTE]
