Power lock door actuator

[cptnsolo77]

I have always have had intermitent problems with the door locks ever since I bought my Vibe. Looks like I have 3 door actuators that have gone bad in the past couple of months. I have been searching for a thread ( with pics ) on how to access the actuator. I found one thread which was very helpfull & I may be able to repair the actuator by dissasembling it. Anyone have experience with this? The actuators ARENT cheap....around 200 bucks.This is the thread I found.http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=28836I have also gone through 3 door handles as a result (I beleive)....there have been plenty of times I have pulled on the door handle & the door didnt unlock, therefore stressing the plastic handle over time & breaking it.
