Betty,
You need to get in there with a multimeter and circuit diagram to do some proper diagnostics. Replacing parts is an inefficient strategy.
I believe there is a separate relay in the module for lock and unlock. If the actuator works in one direction it would also work in the other. Unless one of the relays is toast. However, it could just be a corroded connection somewhere. Pinpoint the problem, then buy replacement parts. If you need a relay someone here can help with that.

Yep, I've done it myself.
