The handle on the outside of the car is connected to the door lock mechanism via a short rod which is anchored to the lock by a sliding ring, this may have broken or come loose.

Get the door panel off and have a feel above the lock, put the rod back into the sleeve and slide the ring up over it.

Sounds tricky, but it is simply and can be done just by feel
