I finally got this resolved. I was able to get the Dorman lock actuator to work. The issue was that the rod that connects the outside door handle to the actuator was rubbing against the inside of the door, keeping the actuator from re-engaging the lock latch once the door closed. I was able to bend the rod slightly so that the tip was pointing towards the inside of the vehicle, allowing the rod to move up and down freely and not get stuck in the open position.

I’m at least thankful GM made these door panels so easy to remove, even when they are stuck closed! Glad this problem is finally put to rest.
