Where are you guys getting these things at? My drivers side failed on me and i'd like to get it replaced. I saw latemodelresto.com has them for $25 a piece but i'm not sure how the quality is on them?

Yeah, my passenger side is going bad. When I use the keyless entry, it makes a nasty sound. 
these are pricey but are the best oem

Mustang Door Lock Actuator Retrofit
From every thing I've seen this retrofit seems to work great. I have most of the parts for it just haven't yet had the time to get around to actually doing it.

Those are only $30 and look like the ones at latemodelresto. How do u know their OEM?
its been a few years since i ordered mine from there, but they were oem at the time. just email/call them an ask
I've got one from 50resto and it works just fine. Keep in mind you DO NOT have to drill out the rivet in the door frame to replace these. The actuator will pop out of it's mounting tabs and can be replaced that way.
Retrofit actuators....worked great!
About 5 months ago I read up on retrofit actuator installation. Couple days later I went ahead and ordered the parts from the distributor mentioned.
$9.00 for the pair! Took me about an hour to install the first one and did the second one in about a half hour. The write up is very detailed and easy to understand. Pretty straight forward. Spent less than $20 total. I found the same actuators at the local auto stereo shop for $25 each.
I love saving money.

Good to hear some positive feedback on this. I should be tackling this within the next week or so, when I get some free time. I'll let everyone know how it goes as well.
Did you check the wiring that runs through the tube in the door jamb? I thought my drivers-side actuator went out as well, but with all the door opening-and-closing cycles, some of the wires were fraying and causing a short. Had my last Fox for 16 years and it had the original actuators in it when I sold it four years ago.
