240DL driver door lock problem

I’m having trouble with the door lock on the driver's door. Car has powerlocks but that does not seem to be the problem – they function as designed. I have to hold the interior lock knob up in order to be able to operate the door latch. Upon dis-assembly of the door panel, the only wayward piece I found was what might be the remnants of a spring - it was a single coil of a small gauge wire forming about a 3/16" loop that ended in a 90° tab. Does anyone have an assembly diagram that they could post?

heres the picture from the older parts catalog known as VADIS...
