Question
Where can I find a Actuator for H1 1994 Hummer.  It is Hummer part#6002513 and is used to auto unlock and lock the doors via remote key chain device.

Answer
    H1 Hummers are tough to get parts for.  I think there will be some kind of online presence in the future, but no one seems to have one set up yet.  I think that for the time being I would try to find one in a salvage yard.  If there's a Hummer dealer out there who also sold something that still exists, he might have one in his parts department.  I'm not sure how you'd find him, though.  I'd definitely join an owner's group or two, though.
    An alternative would be to take the old one out, go to a GMC or Chevy dealer, and ask them if it looks familiar.  It's a cinch that Hummer, before GM bought them, was not making that part themselves.  I'm sure they used one that fits something else.  A custom  shop might be able to replace it with a universal one.
