Default Door Latch Needed (right front), suggestions?

My power lock would not function on the passenger front door. I had to manually lock the door each time. So I pulled out the door latch, which controls the power lock for that door. I checked and have current to the end of the plug that mates with the latch motor. So its not bad wiring / fuse.

My questions are ...

Are these rebuild-able? Should I even spend the time?

The catalog said its part number "4798 914AB", latch package front door, right side.

I wasn't able to find one at a junk yard yet, trying to avoid ordering from the dealer. Anyone know of a good ebay seller for jeep parts that they'd recommend?

Or does anyone have a door latch (right / passenger front) for a '99 Cherokee Sport 4.0L they want to sell me?

Thanks,

if you get an aftermarket one its supposed to be for regular manual locks with an alarm you would just need an actuator and a relay ive found them in az for $7 most audio alarm shops have them for $10-30
heres one on amazon for like $6

Well I don't think I'll go with a custom / after market solution because the clearance inside the door itself is pretty tight.
