The cable can't be the issue, otherwise he wouldn't be able to open the door from the inside handle.

Jason:
Pop the cover off the door handle with a thin bladed screw driver.
Remove the two philips screws holding the handle to the door card.
Slide the black trim plate out when your remove the handle.
I think another philips screw secures the inner door latch to the door.
slide the door latch forward and out.
If you don't see the end of the cable, use a coat hanger or something
similar to fish for it.
There should be a square shaped metal clip that holds the cable
jacket to the latch.
If it wasn't installed properly ( supposed to capture the cap on the
cable jacket in a small slot on the latch) , the cable can come loose.
Fish out the cable, re attach the the cable hook to the back of the
latch, install the square clip properly -
then installation is reverse of removal.
If the clip is missing, you may have to remove the entire door card (
and hope that it's still inside the door) to access it.
(the clip is something that I put on my list of things to get when at
a pick n pull or junkyyard)
