I’ve been having issues with my drivers front door. It has a mind of its on and only unlocks half the time using the key fob. Has anyone experienced anything like this or know how to fix? Thank you!

Sounds like the actuator is going out.

I had the same issue turned out to be the lock door trim was catching on the inside you can pop it off and see if that fixes your issue.

Unfortunately I’m thinking its the actuator. Took that trim piece off, still doesn’t do anything. Only way it will unlock or lock is if i pull it up or push down manually

Awesome! Thank you! I received a new actuator in the mail today. Looks pretty simple with step by step directions.
