    Just picked up my Prius, after having some body work done, including replacing the drivers door handle. The door locks and unlocks with the key fob buttons, but the smart key functionality does unlock it and the button on the door handle does not lock it. The passenger door works fine in all ways, so I assume the key fobs are fine. Is there anything easy to do to reset the new door handle, or was something incorrectly installed and I need to bring it back?

    Thanks.

    You need to take it back.

    sounds like your bodyman has left the white conector for the smart function on the end of the handel unpluged.get a flashlight and look in there with the window open.
