I’ll give you 3 guesses why this is happening 🙂
Here’s a clue: “Dorman pt# 760-5206”.

How was I unlucky? The 30 yr old door handle broke on my 96 Liberty
and it was 20*f.
How was I lucky?
I was at home
I had the window unlatched, Liberty #331, because I knew this could happen at any time and had been procrastinating for 6 yrs about changing the door handle setup BEFORE it broke. I purchased a new one Dorman pt# 760-5206 from amazon in 2019 for $25. Today they are $54. jezz.
In case you don’t know? this happens a lot and folks you will be locked inside and/or outside when you least expect it 🙂

A couple of months ago the outside handle on our door stopped returning flush on it’s own, it was just flopping in and out… The spring that holds the outside hanlde flush had broken.
Because you had told me a few years ago to buy a new door handle, I had one on hand. But, like you, I had not changed it. Fortunately we were not locked out. A couple of hours later, the new handle was installed and the door panel was reinstalled.

Been putting it off too long. Just order the latch yesterday!

yes I got another spare and have prepared/modified it for install if ever there’s a next time.
