I did a search and can't really find something that is exactly like my problem, so here goes.

I took my door panel off to replace the door check that was broken, and now my passenger door won't lock. It's all hooked up, and if I loosen the door panel, and move it towards the back of the jeep, it will lock. But if the door panel is on all the way, the damn thing won't lock. You can't even push it manually, it's like the whole mechanism is stuck unlocked.

After messing with it for a while, there is now a clicking (louder than normal) that happens when I lock or unlock it with the power button.

It won't even lock manually with the key.

Actuator?

Any help is appreciated, thanks.
