hm odd.
i know my passenger door doesnt open from the outside.

I opend it up and the linkage was broken. Its just a plastic clip. It seems to me the echanism from the inside of the door would be unlikely to just go out. Its pretty straight forward with just a metal wire pulling on the lock its self.

unlike the exterior lock mechanism which has a bunch ofnuts and bolts to it.

so..i third that^
