Default 2005 driver door issues

got an 05 z51 recently and the driver door opens irregularly. touch the pad or interior button and the window indexes and you hear the latch but it doesnt release. getting signal from the outside pad so its not the cleaning issue. getting signal from the inside button. the later in the day the worse the problem. if you continue to press the inside button you can hear the latch solenoid fatige with each press. I assume this is my issue. any thoughts before i take it to the dealership. i can do it my self but i hear that its a 1 hour deal to repair. one hour of dealer time is better than one plus of my time

Dealer was too busy for me to wait. I purchased the door latch/solenoid and replaced it my self. Took about 30 min. Paid $145 from the dealer. Works perfect now. Good luck
