2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Door Lock Replacement

[JTruelove]

My drivers side electric door lock doesn't work all the time. It appears that it is hanging up. I have tried to use the remote and the manual one on the door. Has anyone replaced the motor for this. Also, how much do they cost(aftermarket or dealer item) and how hard is it to change? Thanks

The motor is part of the latch. I don't think it is easily removed from the latch. However, changing out the latch is not that difficult. 3 bolts and a couple of rods. I swapped the contents of 2 "manual" doors for all the power parts on my 96 and it went very quick. The toghest part was the door handles but you don't need to take that part off to do the latch.
