Power door lock, driver side, deceased

Anyone else had the PDL fail? It started not working with a handle touch and now it doesn't work even with the inside buttons. 2016 model year.

Probably the door lock actuator. Aisin part will be ~$100 off of Amazon. DIY friendly

Some report replacing the small motors in side. I've never done that myself

I replaced my driver's one about 5 years ago or so with one of these refurbs on eBay that had a lifetime warranty.
