Default Front Door Lock/Release Handle Problem

My central locking mechanism seems to be working fine. When I lock the doors, all the doors lock and when I unlock, they all do the same. However, the passenger side door release handle will NOT open the door under normal operation. When the handle is pulled, it feels as if nothing catches. The only way I have found to get the release handle to engage and open the door is by manually pulling up on the door lock (on the inside - even though it appears to already be in the unlocked position), at the same time the handle is pulled. I'm not exactly sure how the lock and release assembly works together so I have not tried to make any adjustments. If anyone has any ideas on what might be causing the problem, and any potential solutions, I would love to hear them.

(the ling is to a set of 3 he also sells 1, 5 etc... different springs for different doors.)

Kind of a pain to fix, I have done my drivers door and the rear cargo door..
