Again I'm just thinking, I haven't looked into the system. I will look into what I can find as cable ties to replace the 16ga wire

I should know the answer within a couple days. I'm betting that the internals disconnect just like the inside door handle and the outer handle lock was just meant to be a "reminder" that the door is locked.
It will be a grand slam fix if I'm correct.
SODIAL(R) 10 pcs 0.39" x 15.75" Stainless Steel Metal Cable Zip Tie Wrap Exhaust Straps

Example of the stainless zip tie. The advantage is it will fit through without any modifications to the carrier. I may have had to make a small groove with a file or drill bit for the 16ga wire. The disadvantage of the zip tie is I'm not sure you can get two wraps through so the full force isn't on the retaining clip. If I can locate my stainless straps I can maybe also test this as I will be removing a broken carrier to experiment on.
It's interesting that the spring looks like coincidentally 16ga wire. My repair looks just like the spring.
Oh: the wire I used was from one of those tiny little marking flags like would be used to show where gas or electric comes to a house underground.
