Hi All,
Long time reader, first time poster! These forums have helped me a lot in the past, hopefully someone can help again.
This morning I went to open my drivers side door and it wouldn't open. I thought i heard something odd inside, like a piece of plastic breaking or something.
The door does open from the inside, and the locks work fine, so I assume it's just a cable that broke / got disconnected.
My question is, do I have to disassemble the whole door, and remove the glass, etc. from the inside, or can I just remove the door handle and somehow reattach it from the outside?
I searched the forums, but the only threads that came up where problems where the door couldn't be opened from the inside OR outside, so this problem seems to be different.
Any help / insight is appreciated.
Thanks!

There is a rod that connects the outside handle to the lock (see pic attached). Most probably that came off. You will need to remove everything to get to it. Google YouTube Infiniti door lock replacement.
