Youll need to remove the door panel. Usally there 2 bolts behind the pull handle and theirs a screw behind the inside release handle. Then remove the handle linkage. Then remove the 2 retaining nuts. Then remove and install the new one.

That's what the question was? It sounded like he was asking why the door didn't open when it was locked.
