Default C6 Door Handle or Actuator?

Before being bashed for not searching, I'm posting because I haven't see the answer I need.
Recently my Passenger Door wasn't opening from the outside or the inside... the door would release a little and the window would index as it should.
I did pull the door handle and cleaned well.. .but now I have nothing responding.
So should I conclude it's the Door Actuator and replace that piece? If so, where is the best place to buy one?
Thanks in advance for your help...

sounds like the actuator. Check with Cultrag for parts.

It may not need replacing, just cleaning: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...vers-door.html

And another one currently being discussed. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...6339-2008.html
You probably need to use the search function at the top right and put in better terms. Just reading though post titles may never find what you want.

Not directly related to your problem but once you get it fixed spray the lock, latch and hinges with a little white lithium grease and work the doors good. I did and my doors open with 1 squeeze now when before sometimes it took 2 or 3 squeezes for them to open. Worked for me.
