What causes the power door lock actuator failure in Mercedes-Benz S-Class vehicles in Pakistan?

My Mercedes-Benz S-Class power door locks have stopped working, and I suspect the actuator might be faulty. Is actuator failure a common issue in Pakistan due to climate o r road conditions? What symptoms should I look for to confirm this, and what are the repair options?

Actuator failure is common in Pakistan due to the harsh environmental conditions—dust, heat, and moisture can penetrate the actuator casing causing motor burnout o r gear wear. Symptoms include doors not locking o r unlocking with the remote o r interior switch, unusual noises during operation, o r locks working intermittently. Confirming actuator failure usually requires removing the door panel and inspecting the unit. Replacement is typically the best solution, and using genuine Mercedes-Benz parts is recommended to ensure durability.
