Right rear door locks/unlocks intermittently/incompletely. I am aware of the high cost of the OE unit (more than $200) and the inexpensive generic eBay fix. But my thought is that for the problem I am experiencing, it is more likely a mechanical than an electrical problem, and can perhaps be fixed with adjustment and/or lubrication. Any thoughts?

No way around it. Actuator is starting to fail.
There is actually a small motor in the actuator that works the lock.
All internally and only comes in assembly.

Mine front driver side door acted like that in past week. Now it is working normally. My guess is that the water from IKE caused some mechanical issue in the linkages. Now it finally dried out.
