*IMPORTANT*
**If you are doing the driver side door at 26:39 there is a white stick that come from the lock on the outside door handle that must be reinserted into the white plastic slot on the new lock mechanism otherwise your door key will not work. It is flexible and can be inserted before you bolt the lock mechanism down. The passenger side door does not have that.*
