door locks
on my driver side door i had to replace the locks because the PO never had keys to them so as i replace the driver side i pulled the lock cylinder out and i notice that when i put it back together it dont unlock it only locks. i also noticed that the rod that goes to that lock cylinder is loose.
Is there any way of fixing this ?

Re: door locks
I can't make out if the locks are new or not; regardless they should lock/unlock with the key. Following is a shop manual diagram that may provide useful:

Re: door locks
I can only assume that the lock itself is defective or you didn't install correctly.
