Could of dropped the rod off the handle inside or is the handle broken. You can take the door panel off and check it out. They are not real hard to take off and check things out.

If I were you I'd just pull off your door panel and look around to see what's not latching on to where it should be.

BEFORE you take stuff apart, look under your outside handle, if it is broken (should be a black lever that is part of the handle and goes into the hole in the door) you will need to buy a new door handle first.

GET A GENUINE FORD DOOR HANDLE NOT A CHEAP IMITATION. Go to the junkyard if you have to...
