I replaced the interior handle for the drivers door in my 96 Accent yestaerday.Now when I try turn the key to unlock the door, the little rod comes up, but doesn't actually unlock the door.
Did I miss something really simpole, or are the central locking kits in those Hyundais a bit iffy!

Did you hook up all the linkages back together!

I have.It seems to be touch and go.Works fine the first couple of unlocks then just stops working properly.It has happened before, but on isolated occasions before I replaced the door handle.
Will keep working on it in the meantime - something mustn't be lining up properly.

Suggests something is jamming it since you replaced the door.

Took the car in for a warrant and to get the door looked at.Looks like the solenoid in that door lock is stuffed.The mechanic did something so that I can unlock with my key and need to hold the rod upwhen unlocking from the inside.I am going to get it replaced - probably at the same time get some kind of car alarm installed.
Thanks again for the advice and suggestions guys.I appreciate it.

inspect all ok then do what he said its what i would do but not to mutch otherwise it might jamm somewhere and try with the cover off the door first.
