Removed the door lock actuator to repair the motor. After repairing the motor, the actuator was reinstalled in the door and the door was closed before verifying everything was working as designed. Now I can't get the door open. I think it is locked and the door bottom on the key or the doors will unlock it. Any ideas on how I can get this door open??

U WILL NEED TO REMOVE THE DOOR PANEL AND CHECK THAT ALL THE LINKAGES TO THE LOCK ARE CONNECTED.
INSIDE AND OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES
LOCK LINKAGE FROM THE KEY CYL. TO THE LOCK ASSY. OR THE LINKAGE TO THE MANUAL RELEASE KNOB. ONE OF THESE MUST HAVE FELL OFF THE LOCK ASSY.
