Yep, you'll have to get new lock actuators, and tear the door apart to get to them and replace it. Once you figure out how to pull the old one out, the others will be easier. I did mine not too long ago, just like new again.

I have done all 4 of mine. There a pain to get out if you have a 99 or newer. The first one was a pain cause I tried to baby it out of there. Well the easiest way is to just snap the retaining tab right off the broken unit. once you do that you can remove the old one but you still have to remove the tab that broke off the actuator. Just get a long screwdriver or I used a 24 inch 1/2 extension from my ratchet set and just pry the old one and it will snap out of there. Putting the new one back in takes all of 45 seconds if that. By the way Ford redesigned the new style cause of all the problems with the old ones.
