This actuator unit breaks, along with other actuator units made by Ford around this time, because of cheap materials. You can either buy a replacement actuator unit that will fail eventually and cost you more money to replace either way, or just do it yourself and replace the gear in the unit. It's not complicated - just remove the unit (the one on this car is difficult to get to considering you have to remove the entire front dash panel; this video shows you how to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2Bh4pN27zI) and diassemble it by disengaging the clips that hold the entire thing together. Replace the gear, lubricate it with the included PTFE grease, clip it back together and replace the unit.
