Just to close the loop on this one. I managed to figure out how to pop out the actuator wire to allow removal of the latch unit. Upon bench testing it confirmed that the electrical actuator was bad. One used unit from ebay later and everything works again. Care is needed because latch units, even for the same year, seem to vary from car to car (based on options?). Mine (a 2005) had a metal spring around the actuator wire which earlier (00-04) and some of the same year didn't seem to have. Match the pictures of the actual replacement part carefully if buying online..
