Well done Growler, You'll have to take one of those relaxing drinking & bug eating holidays soon to recover from all that mental anguish.
Thanks heaps for posting the video. I just bought the same mechanism ($290 delivered off ebay) & I'll check it's operation based on your video before installing. And yep, I found the same thing - fitted to ALL GU's, not just DX's

In less than 6 weeks Cuppa I'll be eating bugs!
I don't know why the thing started working. I was driving over lots of speed humps and through paddocks so maybe something bumped it into place, even though I had been giving it gentle taps trying to sort it

Nek minute...
Back to square one!!

Ok I have a theory why the lock didn't move when I had it out of the vehicle. Today I noticed I can't lock the door with the internal "button/lever" while the door is open. Stops you from locking your keys in the car I spose. The door can only be locked internally when it's closed or with the key from outside if that makes sense. Doesn't explain why it wouldn't move when it was shut yesterday or over the weekend whenever I played with it

What about when you lift the door handle, then depress the lever?

Yep, that's how they are designed to work.
