Hi had the same problem I presume after that length of time you got stuck at the metal plate surrounding it?

I spoke to a mechanic who told me to cut it off with snips! Job done!

Good Luck

It may be worthwhile retracing your steps....making sure all connectors have been plugged back together, ensuring no wiring has been trapped, check the fuses and power supply to the solenoid.

Other possible faults could be a faulty replacement unit or if the battery has been disconnected then the locking may need resetting.

Let me know how you get, but I would recommend the basics first...fuses, power supply, connectors, etc.

 

Hope this helps?
