LOL... I hope you gave him a good punch for his help! You'd have to pull the interior panel off to see if the lock rod just fell out, or if he cracked the handle (it's just cast metal).

Looks like we dont need our friends touching our cars for a while More than likely the rod has been knocked out of its place. Does your door handle have any play in it?

Sounds like a broken door handle. Local parts store should carry them. I think the last one I got was around 17 bucks(for my 91 Jimmy, but they should be similiar in price)
