Half door latch spring
 

So I have a YJ half door here, and the outside handle doesn't work.
So I took off the inside panel, and the rod that attaches to the handle had slipped out.
I put it back in the slot.
However, there was also a spring laying loose that is obviously supposed to pull
the latch back to the "default" position. I can't figure out where this spring is supposed
to attach. One end of the spring is curved to a "hook" and the other end is just straight.
So how does this spring hook up?
Also the screw or whatever holds the paddle on was missing, so I figured I could just
stick a screw in there and it would be fine.
A picture of the internals would be great...

Hi Jay,
You can bet the spring hook had fatigued and broken off. Looking at
half door parts there is no mention of a spring, therefore: the spring
must be apart of the latch assembly, probably have to take it out to
find the wear marks to exactly where it belongs, and bend another hook:

just temporary. like throwing saw dust in a rear end.

Bill,

This is a YJ half door and it looks a little different than the TJ depicted there.
For example, the inner handle actually connects to the latch with a cable.
Do you have a YJ schematic?
Of course I can always find another door and open it up but it's easier if I can
figure it out with a diagram.
