Comfort access stopped working after replacing external door lock cable

Hi there!
I have replaced external driver's door lock cable. After I assembled the door panel and exterior handle I checked that it works by opening and closing the door several times, exterior handle worked as it should and comfort access also worked. Then I left the car closed for couple minutes and after that comfort access stopped working. The door still opens and closes with the key though. Passenger door comfort access works fine.

Any thought on where to look?

Thanks!

Yes, look at the door handle that you was just messing with. Check connections again, something could be loose/pinched

Yeah, I'll try to check connections tomorrow, although its such a pain to access it inside the door. Thanks!

Well, the next day comfort access magically worked fine for drivers door, I did not do anything to fix it. It's been a second day and it still works. Will update the thread if it stops working again, but so far everything looks/works fine.
