Bump. $100 or best offer.

I bought this for my old truck to replace the worn driver's side lower seat cover with an OEM part, but never got around to it before it was totaled. Purchased new from GM, and kept in the plastic bag ever since. Part number is 23423855. Asking $100 shipped in the lower 48.

The driver's side door in my 2014 Sierra decided that it no longer wanted to be friendly. When I hit the remote, it just wouldn't respond. You either had to use the key (in the hold. from the outside), or push the pin/pull the door handle from the inside to get the lock to work. I ended up buying the door lock actuator from GMPartsDirect. Part number 13597536. Tools: Door Panel Tool 10mm socket + ratchet Torx T25 nut driver or bit/universal screwdriver Torx T30 nut driver or bit/universal screwdriver 1) Remove door panel and pull off the vapor barrier (Link to video. You can ignore everything after the 3 minute mark) 2) Disconnect the door lock actuator. Remove 3 Torx by the door latch. Loosen the 10mm bolt by the wire harness. Disconnect the wire harness. Remove the vertical door lock pushrod. 3) Remove the window guide. Reach inside the door, it runs along the back of door. Black rubber piece that the glass slides into. There are 2 10mm bolts accessed from the outside of the door skin. 4) Remove window actuator harness grommet and 2 wire guides – get that stuff out of the way. You’ll need all the space you can get. 5) My truck had a black plastic foam thing, maybe 8”x4” that was fastened/double sided taped to the inside of the door skin. If you have this, you need to remove it. (I wouldn’t use any metal pry tools for this, you don’t want to dent your door from the inside) 6) Remove lower bolt from rear window support. Loosen (but don’t remove) the top bolt for the rear window support. Don’t worry, your glass won’t fall. 7) Remove the door handle. (Link to video), then loosen the T25 bolt underneath the front part of the handle. 8) Back inside the door, reach up and slide the door handle mechanism forward to release it, then pull it down into the open cavity to give yourself room to work on it. Disconnect the linkages that connect the door handle mechanism and the door lock actuator. I took the cables out of the wire cable guides to create more slack for myself. 9) Now for the fun part. At this point, you should have a door lock actuator just sitting inside the door frame, with a vertical window support and a horizontal door skin brace keeping you from removing the actuator. Grab the lower part of the window support and push it (hard) as far into the door as you can (away from you). With your other hand, grab the window actuator and try to twist it through that opening. Think about it like you’re trying to get a couch through a small doorway. It is a very tight fit, and your knuckles are surely gonna get knicked, but with the right combination of pushing (the window support), pulling (the door lock actuator), and cursing – it will come out. 10) Once you have the old actuator out of the door, pop the access covers to swap the cable assemblies over to your new door lock actuator. Or I hear you can rebuild the old one, but that wasn’t the route I took. 11) Rinse and repeat. No real magic to putting everything back in. (do remove the weather stripping and weather stripping clips from the door panel, though. Install them back on the door before you put the door panel back together) Thanks to Waterfowler41 for his guidance! I'm happy to help if anybody else is looking at this job. All in, it's about a 2 hour adventure. Parts are in the $50ish range.

I'd just give them a call - ask for the parts department. I called my local dealership today and expressed my concern about the safety impact of this kind of an issue. They said there isn't a recall so they can't do anything about it... then they gave me a 1-800 number to call GM.

It looks like the part number you're searching for is different than what I ordered... are you sure the 2500 takes a different actuator? I ordered 13597536 for $52.

Oh boy. What do you think, an hour or two?

Thanks! Any idea on the part number? Good call on the potential recall, Ventilator... To your point, it's pretty dangerous to think your truck is locked when possibly it isn't. I'll try giving the stealership a call to see if they'll hear me out (child locks, car accident accessibility, carjackings, etc) - otherwise it's worth it to me to spend the $100 or whatever it will cost to ensure me and my belongings are safe.

Hey guys! I have an issue with my driver's side door lock... when I use the electric lock/unlock function - it just doesn't go. It works if I manually lock or unlock it, but it seems like either the actuator is running out of juice or maybe there's too much resistance in the mechanism. Before I go blindly tearing things apart, is this an issue that any of you are aware of or have experienced before? Consensus? Thanks
