W204 Door lock actuator
Hi,
For the past couple of months, the front passenger side door lock won't lock/unlock when using the keyfob or the lock/unlock button of the car.
It started by not working at random moments, then started to work less and less often, until now it won't move the lock anymore. I must lock/unlock it manually by pushing/pulling the lock handle.
When I press the lock/unlock button of the keyfob I can hear a "Buzzzz" sound coming from the lock of the door, but the lock doesn't move.
I took apart the door panel, drilled out the rivets, removed the metal plate, and the door lock.
Tried to look into it, but can't find any visible issue or anything broken.
Is there anything else I could look into before ordering a new door lock?
Any advice?

Going through this now with my 2011, got the new lock actuator, waiting on the heavy duty 1/4" riveter to be delivered and trying to see what size rivets the door take. 1/4" dia X ???
