Outside right door handle won't open

Whats the most common reason the door only opens from the inside? The cable is broken? According to etka thats not sold seperately so one has to buy the complete bracket?

Child lock on does not allow a person to open the door from the inside. He is able to open the door from the inside.

Didn't find any mechanical child switches in the cars doors themself so I guess this car doesn't have them. The switch in the drivers door board seems to work alright.

Edit: wrong thread:whistle:
