Exclamation My Door Lock Actuator Went...

Hey guys, my driver side lock actuator took a dump on my GS. I have been able to cross-reference parts and it seems like a Corolla or Camry motor is the same as the one in the GS. The part isn't really that expensive, I just need help installing it.

Any shop recommendations or any members know how to do it?

*Also, do you think a Toyota dealership will be willing to do it, Lexus is charging a arm and leg.

Doing anything with the "IS" or "GS" is a pain when you remove the door panel. That is why Lexus is a fortune. I had to take my 1gen to the dealer to have the window track fixed in the middle of freezing January. I think the tint guy bent the track. Their is not much room to work with.

Tell me about it, I decided to pop it open today and wayyy to confusing for my liking I saw the DIY, but it's way to complicated.
