I replaced the inside remote door latch and lock on my 49 chevy truck. Because I would lock the drivers door from the inside and go around the truck to the drivers door and jiggle the outside door handle and the door would unlock. It does the samething with the new latch. What am I missing?
Thanks

Nobody knows? Well I guess I'll just keep using the bungy cord.

after 60 years I suspect the parts are simply worn out. maybe a good cleaning and inspection of the original parts is in order, those re-pop parts are not very good quality and I wouldn't count on them working half as good as a worn out original.
