Thank you Breach for an excellent description of how to replace the lock actuator. I'm not necessarily afraid of DIY, but given the amount of time and effort you experienced to get it done, I dropped off my F10 today at a local independent repair shop to have them replace the lock. At least now I know what they have to do, and I suspect that once they get in there, they will probably move their repair estimate upwards.

Cheers.
