Default Door won’t open after replacing actuator

I’ve replaced the driver’s side actuator and confirmed that it locked/unlocked the door. I put door panel on, and now cannot open the door from inside or out. Please advise. Thanks

Only thing I can think of you be that you didn't connect the handle linkages properly. If you have an advanced scan tool, you would be able to check the actual lock/unlock status of that door actuator. If it's truly unlocking, then linkages are all that's left.

Alright, guys. Thanks! I think I’m gonna pull the interior aspect of the door away and see if I can get my hand on the actuator. I’ll do that when the new actuator comes in. For now, I’m crawling into my car from the passenger side. Lol it sucks.
