Cool, just did this post this morning, copy paste
This prolly is the door handle latch (in the door jam). You can tell by opening the door (use the rear hatch pull if needed), then look at the door jam and "close" the latch with a screwdriver or whatever and then press the latch button. If the latch does not open completely, there's your sign. You can also compare it to the passenger side for reference.
Another method to determine is does it ALSO happen when you press the inside button? Part numbers I could find on a quick search are 15946780, 10352332, 88956721 (RH side). Good luck! This recently happened to me at a 1/2 mile event and I had to use the inside and hatch manual release latches all day.
