Is my door actuator shot? This issue im having is on the passenger side front door. I can unlock the door manually from the inside by pulling the lever but the unlock button, remote unlock, and comfort access unlock do not unlock the door. When I unlock the whole car the passenger side door makes a loud electronic whirring noise like an electric motor hanging, it continues for 10 seconds or so then stops and it happens every time I unlock the passenger door. Before I go into the door panel do you think this is something I can fix without buying another actuator (since it is making a noise) or is it toast?

Depends on what is keeping the actuator from pushing the lock pin up - sounds like it has become disconnected from the lock mechanism. You might be able to fix it, but not without parts of some sort. Look at the mechanism on realoem dot com - you can see a complete diagram and parts and get a better idea of how it all works.
