It opens the door ! I cant figure out how to make it lock it opens both ways did I do something wrong ? :confused:

The part that screws to your door,where the handle fits on,,unscrew it,flip it upside down from where it is now,screw it back on. then re-position your door handle.
Did this make sense? Hope so. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 677 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 677 | Delux54panel
You were right ! I had crossed up the two, The driver's door still wont lock "it go's into the lock position from the inside but you can open it from the outside"
But the pass.side is working great now

These things get kinda tricky sometimes with pivot points and pulling,pushing,etc.....
Good Luck,
