Yes, the outer door handle AND the inner door handles both feel like they are functioning properly...you can even hear them lifting/moving inside the door. I had just recently changed the handle carrier so I am CERTAIN that is working properly. And also installed a BRAND NEW Bowden Cable at the same time I installed the new actuator.

I kid you not, I tested this door over and over and over again, EVERYTHING worked perfectly...electronics AND manual functionality... The ONLY thing that I hadn't done, was DRIVE the car....

Do you think there is some automatic locking that occurs when the car is driven that might have done this. The lock still works via remote key AND the center console...the door just doesn't open...
