door handle spring question

[nyne]

Does anyone happen to have a picture of how the drivers side door handle goes back together? there's a little spring that fell out whenever i took the door panel apart and i was wondering how that goes back into place?

I don't have a concrete answer for you, but when I put my door panel back on, I remember that the handle / lock assembly had to be held in place because it would spring back if I let go (but it could have been the rod that goes to the door lock mechanism itself). I had to hold it so that I could get the screw into the yellow anchor. See the pic below:

I don't think the spring can fall out of the handle itself, but is it operating normally? I don't recall anything else that uses a spring. There isn't a whole lot behind the door panel...

I've got an extra pass side handle if you need it.
