Default 2001 grand caravan driver lock problem

Lock in my caravan makes high pitch very loud noise when locking and unlocking. Sometimes I can't even open the door from inside or outside.
I'm not sure If i have to buy whole new lock or just some parts that went bad.
Is this a dealer only part or I can get it generic?
I was trying to look for it but without the part number it's hard.
Can anyone provide that part number for me?

2001 grand caravan sport 3.3 power door lock, factory keyless entry

Thanks

Here are some Mopar numbers, Left front door 5109861aa and the Right is 5109860aa. And the Left slidng door is 4717961ac and 4717960ac for the Right. I did ck with autozone online and they only show the right sliding door. So Mopar maybe the way to go.

Default front latch

Hi

I hate to be a pain but I'm wondering which part to buy since one you provided cost more and one I was told about cost less.
I really don't care but I just want to make sure it'll work.

5109863aa $59
4717803AC $41

Also while getting quote from mopar parts online store, I've explained the problem and they said that I need actuator 4717961AB $80
When I took the latch from the door it looked like one piece with no servicebale parts inside.
I'm really confused now and I would appreciate the help.

thanks again
