Default Right Rear Door Actuator

My 98 GS400 right rear door will not lock or unlock via remote, only manually.

Bad actuator? and if so, where can I find the part under the $200s that I am seeing?

What does it take to repair?

Thanks much

My '01 GS430 has started to have intermittent issues with the right rear door lock also. The remote will lock or unlock all the doors and then the right rear door will get locked or unlocked 1-2 seconds afterwards...kind of like it's lagging behind the others and/or gets sent a second signal to open/close. Other times it works normally. Odd. I figure it's probably on it's last legs and from the sound of the issues others are having, may decide to die altogether.

same thing happened to me just yesterday... I ordered a new actuator from Carsons for around 92$'s and a ebay motor for 12$ just to play with it since im not to savvy with rc motor's etc etc. One thing I noticed was the car when locking does not beep/blink the signals anymore, then when I went and checked all 4 doors only 1 was Un-locked and had to manually go inside and lock it then the lights beep/blinks again.
