Default 1987 Dakota door handles/latch

I have a problem with the doors on my Dakota. The only door handle that works is the drivers outside handle. I need an assembly diagram to see if the interior rod just fell out of the latch (latch was loose) or if its mounting tab is broken off. Also once I break the door panel on the passenger side how do I get the door open once I have access to the inside of the door? Thanks for any info you can provide.

We have the factory service manuals in the FAQ as well as the parts manuals. That will have diagrams on it all. As for how to remove the panel just un-screw 2 screws and pull out the panel.
