After replacing the inside door handle and door latch (I got the latch from a junk yard), the power door button now does not go down all the way or up in response to hitting the power button. In other words, it now does not lock or unlock automatically (in driver's door only). It make a noise -- a loud vibrating noise -- but does not work. This was working fine before the handle and latch were replaced.
Thanks in advance for any idea on what to do now.

If you here a noise that should mean the little motor (door lock actuator) thar works the door lock is getting power to it and it should be ok. sounds like when you changed the inside latch you must have disturbrd/disconnected the linkage or the clip that connects the lock actuator to the latch assembly(the female V-SHAPED mechanism that engages the POST/STRIKER (male part) its a little hard to name these parts so i am describing them to you. look insidethe door and see if you see any threaded RODS OR LINKAGES that are not connected at both ends.the noise youre hearing is most likely the door lock actuator "spinning"up and down but its unable to lock or unlock the door latch mechanism.
