I have a '89 with power locks and windows. Ordered a door handle off of Ebay to replace the one on my passanger door that broke. Looks the same but there is a number different on them. Anyways, when I hook the rod to it where the handle works but dosnt seem to go back to allow the door to latch. But when I get the handle where it works I cant lock the door! Any help here would be great guys. Just everytime I get the handle where it works I cant lock the door. Do I need to just order a brand new one?

Well for anyones info, I took the drives side door panel off to see why the pass one is such trouble and it looks like the factory installed the rod backwards and it made the handle fail
