Default power doors don't work?

So my power doors don't work. When I hit the unlock or lock switch i can hear it working, it's just not getting enough juice to actually lock them or unlock them. Do i need to buy a whole new assembly or is it the solenoid or what? has anyone had this problem. I went to the dealership and they wanted to charge $500+ they said i had to replace everything. any input would be nice

Actuators? I believe that's what they're called. I think we paid $75 from the dealer. They are a bit of a pain if you have big hands but not too hard to swap out.

It was $75 or so a piece. I've been quoted $90 by some dealers though. They are an upgraded version too.
