Anon, I believe it is done on the overhead console or if you mean the child prevention lock, it is a small switch by the doors latching assembly. Links below give instruction.

There are contacts in the door jam, first check and clean these contacts. If they seem fine, and you have a way to check for power on these, test and make sure they supply voltage with a volt/ohm meter. If you are getting power through the contacts, that only leaves the lock actuator itself as being faulty.
yes the door control module could be your problem or it could be you actuator and door motor, these rarely go bad at the same time, but it does happen, start with the door control module, you can usually get these at the junk yard for a reasonable price, hope this helps.
take the door off the car, and hold it up over your head. then you will know how much weight is riding on the sliding bearings and how much work that little door closer motor is doing. the bearings and the motor can only last so long, and i bet through the warranty period is what you can count on. you are going to have to live with it, or replace those components, and with use like all mechanical parts and living beings, it will go bad again. .
i have replaced many sliding door lock actuators on these vehicles..dealer part..mostly on passenger side sliding door..also possible you have a broken wire in door track harness..follow wiring from door into what looks like a plastic chain in door track at door opening
the reason the locks dont work more then likely there is a code stored in the bcm for a lock output circuit normally caused by one if not both of the sliding door acuators. even if you change the acuators the locks still will not work until the code is cleared.
