Driver's side door just quit yesterday (03 MCS 71K). The remote, as well as the switch locks and unlocks all others (i.e., passenger door, boot and gas cap), however, there is no response from the driver's side door. I am able to unlock it from inside with the handle as usual, and from outside manually with the key. When I put my ear to the door and listen while locking/unlocking with the remote, I hear the gas cap modulator engage in the rear, but I dont hear anything from the driver's side. Is it safe to assume that the regulator is gone, since it does not seem to be an issue with the cables? Is it true that this will cost around $400!!!!?
Thanks in advance for your time.

Just happened today....
'03 MCS, ~38k miles. Drivers side.
Worked first thing this morning using remote. Auto locking worked also. Locked doors when I got to work. Went out at lunch just to sit in car and listen to the radio, drivers side wouldn't unlock with remote, but windows and sun roof opened OK. Door will unlock by pulling on inside door handle. Electric lock switch on console doesn't do it either. Just tried listening for sounds of actuator in the drivers door with negative results.
There wouldn't happen to be a separate fuse for each actuator, would there?

2003 MCS, 58,600, drivers side
WEIRD:
will NOT open from the inside, but will open from outside. !!! Is this electrical or mechanical?
i had issues with my both of my windows not working, radio not turning on, and now this. I'm seriously considering selling this car and getting a different one. No warranty and so help me if i need to keep replacing sh*t like this!
it seems like 2003 was a lemon year for us, huh?

You just need a new cable, or just to make sure its still connected. Some tend to work loose, and then you can open from the inside. New cable ~$12, and about 15 minutes to replace. My dads 05 cable fell out of its connector, once I put it back in ( about a year ago now) its been fine.
For all you guys w/ actuator problems ~$95 and 45 minutes to replace. Mine died a few months back, and I replaced it myself, at 175,000+ miles I figure its normal wear, and not covered under warrenty.
Oh its an 03 mcs
