Driver side door lock not working after replacing door handle carrier

Hi, my driver's side door won't open from outside. I searched this forum and found that the door handle carrier needs to be replaced. I followed the DIY fix here posted by personanongrata (http://www.xoutpost.com/articles/x5/...andle-fix.html). Thank you personanongrata!

After 2 hours of fumbling the door handle problem was finally fixed. The door opens fine now. However I got a new problem. The door lock now won't work automatically. When I press my key button, all other 3 door locks but this driver side door. Press the key again, all other 3 door unlocks(but this driver door won't unlock if it's in locked position). If I do it manually by pushing down the little pushpin then the door locks fine. I can also open the door with the key from outside(by inserting the key into the keyhole and turn). I just lost all the remote capability on this driver side door lock. I can manage it but it's inconvenient. I checked the lock actuator and it seems fine from a side peek. I didn't take it off for a more thorough inspection though. Does anybody know what might have I done incorrectly to cause this problem? When I pull the old door handle carrier out I might inadvertently touched something there. The pushpin's still connected to the actuator and everything looks fine.

Another I noticed that might relates to this problem is when the door's open, I can't fully push the pushpin down. It will go halfways then bounce up again. But when I close the door, I can push the pushpin down and lock the door as normal. The other good doors don't have this problem.

Any inputs will be greatly appreciated!
