I figured it out. It wasn't until I got the panel back on that I thought about taking a pic. Sorry. I got a hint by watching kkrace's video for any springs in the handle assembly. Here's what I found.
I refused to give Ford any money for this fix so I bought a 3rd party part off of Amazon for $50. It worked in my 2011 just fine even though Amazon says it won't fit. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HRSSSCA/
Thanks again for the post.
