Ok, the outer door handle will open the door but it must be pressed all the way down and is very hard to do.
What is the problem here and how to fix?
Inside handle works fine. DS door works fine.
My doors are still not completely assembled so I would like to fix this now not later. Thanks
Adjust the outer door handle release rod a bit longer, that should take some of the slak out of it and make sure the latch itself is good and clean and lubed
Pop the little clip off the bottom of the threaded-rod that attaches the door handle to the inner mechanism. Turn the barrel-shaped thing up or down on the rod until it's at the place you need it to be. Clip it back onto the lower part (hint - have a magnet ready for when you drop the clip down inside the door....)

Sometimes, it's just plain old worn out. I replaced mine. They were trashed.
