I can’t seem to get much help from the local Chevy dealer except to sell me the part. I want to know where the part is located on the van so I can determine if it’s something I can do myself. Any help?? ---

Are you talking about the power door lock actuators? They’re in the doors, you have to remove the inside door panel and moisture barrier to gain access. Or are you referring to the power sliding door? ---
