If you can take some pictures of your repair process they will really help for the next person who has this problem.

I ordered the parts last night from Pelican. It is the actuator for sure. Now I just need to find any documentation on how to remove the front right body panel to get to it. If it looks like it's something I can do myself I'll certainly document it.

Tim, let me know if you need help with the docs on how to removed the door or fender. I have the Bentley's service manual and I can scan and PDF the pages you need.

Thanks. I just picked up a copy for myself for $75 on Ebay. I figured it's time to get the service manual. Thanks for the reminder

I had to replace the plastic pull cord, and so I had to pull out the solenoid (actuator) to do it. I recommend you DO NOT remove the fender.
Here's an excellent DYI (which unfortunately wasn't available when I did mine):
http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=13955
For the REALLY tight work of loosening the two screws holding the solenoid I used a small bit that comes with a multi-bit screwdriver and and a small boxend wrench that went over the back end of the bit. Be prepared with patience, it's a very tight spot. But it can be done - if I did it so can you!

Awesome!!! Thanks for the post. That's a great write up!
Now I have to find the parts. I tried to order through Pelican Parts but they wrote this back to me...
"This email is to inform you of the status of your order.
Unfortunately, the following parts from your order are not in stock, nor were we able to source them from any of our suppliers. At this time we do not have a solid ETA on when they will be available. These are: ......
Does anyone have any suggestions on where else to look?
