it appears the broken piece is what either handle would have pushed against inside the latch. I fished it out with a magnet. Even with the inner panel off I can't figure out how to release the clog or whatever keeps the latch wheel from turning to allow the door to open. Page 69 of this forum has pictures. 4th down small box on bottom with spring and two rivet/shafts for latch wheel is where the broken piece came from.
