Replacing the whole actuator can be really expensive. If you're willing to put some work in, you can change just the motors for around $6 each! There's a pretty good write up, just search!

motor is in the door lock actuator, (inside this thing)
i used a knife (and was really really careful) to pry it open.
it takes some force because its basically like glued on.
in my case, the motor was bad, and i saved like 200 bucks on buying a new actuator.

one thing you need to watch out for when buying the motor is where the terminal is located.
the terminal should be on the opposite side of the shaft.
there are sellers on ebay that claims their motor is a direct replacement for the actuator motor when it is not.

Yea I grabbed 4 off ebay like 6 months ago, 1 I needed to use, 3 for backup, was only 10-12$
Also It was my first time taking the door panel off this car or doing anything, all told it took about 2 hours even waiting for the glue to dry. Pretty easy if you follow the write up.
