Super-lock? PS front door won't open - replaced actuator
Hi all,
Since I have purchased my newest DII several months ago I have been going though and fixing things as I have time.
My passenger side front door has not worked since purchase. The door would open from inside and outside when unlocked but, once locked, I would have to reach over and unlock the door manually from the interior door handle. As this was a pain its was livable for some time. That time has come and gone.
I pulled the actuator and tried repairing (actually made no progress) before ordering a brand new factory replacement from LR.
I went through the reinstallation process carefully making sure everything was hooked up correctly and made sure the door was not in a bind once closed. ( I was worried it might be since I had to remove window frame). Door is not in any kind of bind. When the new actuator was first installed I could open and close the door with both handle until it is locked. However, when I lock it now the interior handle unlocks it as it always has but then the door will not open. Right when I noticed this I was able to reach in the door (still had the panel off) and pull down on the exterior handle connecting rod and get the door to open.
After a few days passed this method of getting the door open no longer worked. I started researching possible explanations everywhere. The only thing I can find that sounds like my problem is located here () but this is just to get the door open. It doesn't give a solution to the "super-lock". I also found this but the actuator pictured is for a P38.
I have since gotten the door open and can open it by pulling exterior door rod like I was right after installation.
Any help would be appreciated. I have attached a photo (the best I could get) of the inside of door where actuator is hooked up.

Thanks Saturnine, the harness is getting power to the actuator, that was first thing I checked before swapping out old actuator. I can hear the actuator working just not allowing me to open the door.
