Tailgate Doesn't Lock

The tailgate lock on our '91 S15 quit working so I replaced the lock. Now both the lift glass & the tailgate function great...except...the lift glas doesn't lock when the key is removed. Is there some super secret 'sweet spot' in adjusting the locking mechanism that only dealer mechanics know or am I missing something?   I'm just about at my wit's end over something that should be fairly simple...replacing a tailgate lock.   Thanks, Ken Poli

Don't know if this will help, but it's worth a shot. Based on what I've read, you must install the lock with the key in it. Not sure why that would matter, but did you install it with the key in the lock? If you didn't, maybe you could give that a shot.
