If the FOB with it's air pressure ~ vacuum system and the key inserted into the drivers outside lock BOTH work correctly it would seem you do not have the cable run correctly.

That is unlikely if all was working before you removed the door panel.

As long as the panel is removed you should reinforce the pull handle before completely reinstalling the door panel. pull reinforecment GO TO POST #80 Thanks John!
