Default Power Lock inop- Driver's Side

Got a power lock (on driver's side only) that won't respond...I have to use it manually to get it to work while the other locks go up and down fine. I think it might be the actuator. Anyone else seen this too?

So I'll assume its the actuator then if that's the consensus. How hard is it to fix? The extent of my mechanical experience is basic stuff like oil changes, valve adjustments, etc.

its not too hard. small hands would be the best tool to have for the job. handle comes off first. phillips screw in the middle. push forward and pull out. two metal rods now hold it on. be careful with the clips they break. now there is a phillips in the little bottle cap holder on the arm rest. take that out. now just pry the door cover off starting bottom first.

I just replaced my right rear actuator. The part was $43.00. But.....it fixed it! Lightshows instructions are dead on.
