It sounds like you didn't install the actuator correctly. The exterior handle functions a rod/lever that sits into the actuator.
-Pull the exterior handle, the rod attached to it inside the door moves, that rod then engages the actuator.-
That rod most likely is not lined up with the actuator properly after you installed it.

I'm having an issue after install that I'm hoping maybe someone can help me with. The actuator fix worked - I can lock/unlock from the key fob which I couldn't do once it died. But now I can only open the door from the interior of the car. When I try to open it from the outside, I get a hollow "thunk" sound and nothing happens. I know it's something stupid I missed when putting everything back together, but I can't figure out what!
