Driver’s door won’t lock!

Does anyone know if this can be fixed by just removing the exterior door handle, which is easy to do?

I noticed the door lock/unlock pin no longer moved up/down. At first the door still locked though. Now it no longer locks. I can hear the actuator motor working.

I wonder if this was caused by the PPF installers when they removed the door handle? Although it worked for a while after the install.

If had a penny I'd bet on the PPF installer.

I agree, except it happened about a month after the PPF was installed.

urgh, now the door panel will likely need removal.

Actuator rod that connects to door handle to the interior pin was bent — most probably the PPF installer, although can’t be sure, as it worked for a while.
