Sliding door power-lock/unlock not working

Things are breaking faster then I can fix them, and it's only week one...

Passenger side (non-powered) sliding door power-lock/unlock stopped working today. Was working earlier today, then not working this evening. Ambient temps have fallen to the low-'30s, vehicle is in an unheated detached garage. Lock works properly manually.

Presuming it's related to the striker/plunger assembly, yet can't find the "side door contactor" pin breakout. Have a copy of the harness (thanks, to another board member!), so I know the wire colors if I take it apart, yet wanted some guidance on power/continuity checks from the striker or plunger assembly. Have looked on this forum and google, yet haven't come across yet.

Will start by cleaning the striker and plungers tomorrow, yet next up would be continuity and voltage checks.

Does anyone have the striker/plunger pin-out? Thanks!

Didn't have any Brasso (yes, I actually remember what that is!), or light-duty sandpaper (only the nasty stuff) lying around, or even some contact-cleaner, so I tried a "Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Scour Pad", and that did the trick. The sliding door lock now responds again to the driver's-door lock-unlock button. Thanks!!!

Yet, if anyone has the pin-outs for the powered or non-powered sliding door's contactor pad, please feel free to share it. Thanks!
