Its the same on, just there is a right hand/left hand motor, you need to order the correct one.

Also, you can take apart the actuator, clean it, and it will most likely still work. They seem to get corrosion in them and fail.

When you say take apart and clean. Could you explain some more please. Like what did you find.
Thanks

Also check your upper gear bushing for wear. This causes reverse issues.
 
Did you change drive belt? Too tight on belt deflection will cause sd 08
 
came in today - looks great - alum frame instead of plastic, plug is on the wrong side but theres enough wire to plug in.
 
i bought a cat part and installed it last week - not removing it just to test... it finally works - fur now... junk.
 
Had mine apart and unless I am crazy that gear is metal not plastic in mine. I did take the circlip off but could not get the large round gear out. Im going to take it apart again to try to clean it and get synthetic grease in there. It definitely has resistance to turning and that seems like the problem for mine. Getting to the dealer is a hassle so for $18 I'd check out the Saturn or other adapted part but ultimately I'll take advantage of the warranty before she goes to Maine for the season.

I can find the parts being mentioned but not for $18.
