In my case, tiny circlip 11 dropped out and pin 10 fell out, releasing the entire handle mechanism. Your case may be different, but this may be a good starting point.

Good luck.

This was the same issue with my door handle. A trip to ace hardware and a $.30 yes..thirty cent...split rivet did the trick. I did not have to take the airbag out, but I did disconnect the battery to keep the auto window from going down each time the lock twisted. In all, a 3 hr job and lots of patience...probably 1.5 hrs if I have to do it again....if you have fat fingers...phone a friend because it is tight.
