2014 TC Rear outside door handle suddenly doesn't work

[bikinchris]

My rear double doors have a problem. My right hand door handle suddenly doesn't work. I can open the rear door using the yellow emergency handle, but now the outside door handle does nothing. I hear the door lock actuator working. Is there something I'm missing?

Problem solved.

Initially, I thought I did something when I played with the yellow release handle. But the door handle itself has a cable that connects to the door latch along with another longer cable that unlocks the top latch on the door. The short cable frayed and broke by coincidence. 

I ordered and replaced the "actuator cable" myself because I had a short trip to make and my local dealer no doubt would have had me wait several weeks before they could replace it.

The tools needed are Torx 20 and 30 bits and a small screwdriver. Once you have the door inside panel off, remove the outer handle by removing the small black cover and unscrew the handle cover with the T20. Then once the cover is off, slide the handle toward the removed cover and it will come out. Use a T20 to remove one screw that holds the inner handle and three T30 screws on the latch itself. Unhook the electric cable to the lock actuator (tough to do without damaging it or the tab it's mounted to) and work the two pieces out of the hole in the panel. The screwdriver can help to unhook the cable on both ends and replace the broken cable.  Reverse procedure to mount everything.
