Power Door Lock Silenoids...
The power door lock on my right side has quit functioning. The power switch will still operate the drivers side door, but not the passenger side. Has anyone changed this before, and what is a good source for the silenoid? Any particular issues I should be aware of before I remove the door panel? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd replace them with a selenoid from GM. Contact Jeff (18carfan here, he seems to have the best prices). Also check The Last Detail and a few of the other mailorder houses.
Now for the door: Remove all the phillips head screws you can find that are holding on the panel, don't forget the two that are straight down through the arm rest.
Pull the bottom of the panel loose and lift up so it comes off the top.
Pull it away from the door and disconnect all the wire do-dads from the door panel
gently pry off the retaining snaps for the plastic cover and pull it down (don't take it all off unless you have to.
There are a bunch of screws holding the inner panel on including a larger one that is part of the window mech.
I found that with a little wiggiling you can get the top of this panel out, then pull it up to get the lower part of the panel out
From there I don't know, I only went this far so I could pull out the Bose speakers and install my own.
Good Luck :cheers:
