No problem! It's a cheap fix, you can get a replacement spring for $1 at Ace Hardware. It's just a pain in the butt to replace. At the very least you need to remove the driver's seat to pull the door panel. I pulled both seats and the center console because I didn't want to scratch anything.

Ok do you have manual locks or power locks? Because a guy on that thread said the spring is for manual locks. And for power locks you need to replace the power actuator which is like $250

I have power locks. In my situation, I was not able to open the door from the outside with key, inside or using the key fob. It most certainly was the spring in my case, my door is working now!
