Electronic door lock/release

After one of the darling children in my neighborhood tried to break into my
Ford F150, I had to replace the driver's side exterior door handle.  All went
well, except that if I use the electronic door lock/unlock, it somehow prevents
to door handle from opening the door from the outside.  Before using the
electronic lock/unlock, the door handle worked perfectly.  Does anyone have
any suggestions on a fix?  Much appreciated!
