The same thing, I think, just happened to my driver side door handle too. The only problem is, in my case, my car has been sitting since Thanksgiving (in freezing temps) with a dead battery. I just got a new battery last night and went to put it in this morning, to find that I can't get into my car. No power so I can't use my key remote to unlock other doors to get in.

Not sure what I'm going to do...
