Default Rear tailgate latch broke

Hey guys, just the other day my rear tailgate door latch stopped working from the outside. The handle stills works from the inside, but the outside handle is no longer working and seems more sloppy than normal, so something in that assembly must have broke. Can anyone point me in the right direction on what part to order? I would imagine it would be a simple fix I could do myself.

Thanks!

if you use a small screwdriver you can pop the access panel off of the door handle; it is behind the Land Rover emblem. From there you can see a lot of the linkage. I just had this happen to the wife last night. I popped the access panel off and sprayed everything up with SeaFoam Deep Keep, work it in a little and the door open fine once again. hopfully this will help
