It is likely that the metal rod that connects the handle to the lock assembly has come loose. The only way to determine that is to take the pad off an have a look.

If it just disconnected, its a matter of just reconnecting it, should me a minimal cost if its just disconnected. Maybe someone with a 2000 manual will post a photo for you

The door panel on my 96 is very easy (as long as you are careful and use correct tools). I don't know the 2000 well enough to help. Why don't you start a new thread requesting 1) the procedure to remove the panel, and 2) a detail of the door /handle /lock /release assembly.

Four screws hold the panel to the door:

One at the bottom rear corner.

One behind a leather flap (held by Velcro) at the door close pull.

Two behind a plastic panel behind the door open handle.

Remove the screws and lift the panel straight up; there is an electric harness to disconnect.

Possibly a problem with the linkage from the inside door handle to the latch?

Does the handle move freely?
