Yep.... as to your exact situation, there's little you can do besides

A) Find a replacement unit at a junkyard
B) contact lonsal from the suspension/chassis board, he makes replacement parts, and is a good guy, too
C) replace the pulldown with a non-pulldown, 82-85 cars.

If you replace the unit with junkyard one, keep in mind the key.. if you can't use the key cylinder from your car with the junkyard piece (powered or not), make sure the yard gives you the key!!

I release my hatch and the lock released but the motor that goes up is running but the lock does not go up. And the motor will not stop running. Help!!!
