Default RFA location 06 Malibu

Anyone know the exact location of the Remote Function actuator on a 2006 Malibu? Code I am retrieving is a U2129.

What trim? Engine?
What are the symptoms? No other codes?

There were a couple of other U codes U2100, & U2109, these cleared, the 2129 will not.

If you have a sedan it'* on the rear package shelf accessible thru an access hole in the trunk. If it'* an extended sedan ,then as previously shown, it'* behind the left quarter lower trim panel as per gm service info.
