Hi, just replaced the drivers side door lock assembly. This was done due to the window didnt drop the few centimeters needed when opening the door. Really easy job once I figured out how to disconnect the outer handle from the lock mechanism.
Now the unit is replced by another second hand part. Not sure what MY the part came from. Mine is a 2000. It is also a US car and the replacement part is ROW
Issue now is that I cant lock the door anymore. Neither with the key in door or by remote
Do I need to have the parts paired together or have I missed something else?
