Door lock actuator help!!!
I followed the thread on this board and replaced the motor in the front driver's door actuator. Everything went well and I got it to work; however, I can't manually open the locking latch from inside the car unless I hit the unlock botton or open the door manually. Anyone has a solution for this? Thanks.

The door will lock/unlock with the press of the button or remote. The manual lock/unlock latch only able to move back and forth AFTER I unlock with the botton or remote. If I lock it then I can't manually open the latch. What do you think the problem it? Thanks.

Take out and make sure you actually put it in correctly. There are 2 white plastic arm from the actuator casing that needs to be fitted into the mounting hardware. You may have just 1 of the 2 arms inside their respective slots. Sorry if I'm not clear enough. I dont have pictures to show you.

yeah, same problem (rear left not that it matters) the lock cable isnt positioned correctly, i actually broke the small plastic piece so it no longer fits in the metal slot correctly anymore, but still has power so i dont care. i agree with bigdawg, you should adjust it until its corrected. have someone test it via remote after quick adjustments. post back.

I dont know how the repositioning the cable would help because the latch will move freely after I press the unlock button. I have no clue how this could happened? Anyone have another suggestion? Thanks.
