I tried to open my door from the inside and it wont open anymore. About a week ago, after a few pulls on the handle it would catch, but now it doesnt matter how many time i pull it, I cant get out of my car. I already have the door off and can see the inside if you have any questions, I can answer them.

My car has 85000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
