Answer
Hello Neeraj;
Sorry it took so long to answer your question, but my computer broke, and I just got back on-line a little over an hour ago, and have been answering questions as fast as I can.
Inside the door of the car is a lever, that is normally a "gold" color.  It may be covered in grease, and dirt, but it sticks up from the door latch assembly, and what you have to do is remove the lock, and the handle together, and then reinsert them into the door so that the lever is caught between the "slotted" opening in the handle/lock combination.  It may make it easier to have the key in the lock so you can turn it, but if you do this, you will have to be careful to make the opening for the "paddle" at the back of the lock turn to the same angle so it will allow the paddle to engage.  It is a matter of trial, and error.  I have to do the same thing on all of the handle replacements I do, and every door is different, a little bit, some are easy, and some can be very difficult, just keep trying, and I know you will succeed.
Hope this helps you out, Neeraj.
