    If the key is in the 'On' position (engine doesn't need to be running) and this happens, check to make sure the door ajar sensor is working (i.e. it closes the circuit). What you described is a safety feature to prevent yourself from locking yourself out of your car.

    Other users might have more troubleshooting stuff if this is not the case.

    Does anyone know where to get a replacement motor? I tried calling the dealership but they wanted to charge me $400 for the whole door assembly when I just need a new actuator.

    Door doesnt look anymore, just hear grinding gears
