Passenger door wont open from inside

Replaced a blown speaker on the passenger door and now that door has a hard time opening from the inside. Sometimes it works perfectly most of the time it doesnt. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

check that all connections are connected properly, and that the door fuses are ok, etc. im not a pro or anything but i think its a false contact.
good luck with it.

Remove the door panel again and check the cable that runs from the inner handle to the door lock actuator, sounds like the cable came out of its holder.

On the exterior door handle, make sure the black plastic mash bar (for lack of the proper term) has returned fully to its original position. I know when its cold, I have to snap it back after opening the door from the outside.

Works now, found out the wire cable with the black tubing protecting it was slacked, so I pulled it a bit tighter and now the door works amazing, used to be the window sealing mech only worked some of the times (door would still open) now it works like new
Thanks for your guys' help
