Common failure, unfortunately the part is all combined has to be replaced and it's not cheap i would see if you can get a low mileage parking brake motor from a salvage yard

Looks like you can get knock off for a bit over $100 on eBay. Might be some used ones oe similar price.

It's not mission critical as you can manually release if it gets stuck so i would personally be ok with 3rd party
