Hi Clint,

Thank you for the donation.

During replacement of the door handle, the wiring connector could have been dislodged or not connected. Another possibility is the slim jim action had broken the door lock wires.

You would have to remove the door panel to have a look at the wires and connectors. If the locking motor is working while operating the door locks control, the door lock linkage could have been dislodged or the clips broken.
