Rebuild you lock - should take you about 45 mins.

I did this a couple weeks ago, working like a charm now.

If you are in Socal I can probably give you a hand.

Most likely, you are correct.

Funny, my right side door just started acting up, hard to close. I'll check it out later. We need to have a SoCal door fix party. :)

It's not bad at all really. Pop the cover take a couple screws off, take some pictures of your actuator before taking it apart, put it back together with new pieces and voila.
