When you lift the door handle do you hear the motor run?
If it does run then the problem is that the cables have stretched, you can either pay for a whole new actuator and fit it, or you can do what I did and buy a bicycle cable adjuster (slotted so you can fit it to the cable) and fit it. There are plenty of YouTube vids about this and that’s how I discovered it, don’t do the ‘cable tie’ fix, it doesn’t work to well. My 2001 Boxster had the same problem and after doing the bicycle adjuster fix more than a year ago now, it is still working perfectly.
