Didn't work, so I figured it must be the control unit (part with the knobs and slides). Finally got that in, still no go. Realize I'd messed up the zeroing of the driver's actuator (which was good to start and used as my tester). Fixed that and it worked on the passenger door as well. Figured out that the new actuator was the wrong one, take it back and get the right one (not quite the cheapest) with 5 pins. And it works. So the controller might not have been bad, but I'll keep the new one because I already turned in the core ($200!?!). Now I just have to put the dash all back together and it should be good as new.
While waiting for parts to arrive, I put the pan on the passenger side lower control arm. No pics because it's the same as the driver's side. I think I'll finish the sides of the front pan and plug some holes in the front bumper next.

So, how bad of a job was this? Other than getting the wrong parts at least. How long did it take?
