Interior problem 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 81000 miles

About a month ago my power locks stopped working on my doors on both sides. I move the switch up and down on both sides and nothing happens. I don't think its a fuse because my power windows still work. What else could it be?

It sounds like it could be a fuse becasue there are three that run the system. #5, 11, 9

Here is a guide to help you test and replace the fuse.

Here are the door lock wiring diagrams and fuse panel locations (below)

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers, Ken

My car is convertible had a heavy rain last night and the passengers side had water on floor in front and back. Put key in ignition and car alarm horn started going off only way to get it to stop was to turn off engine. Automatic door lock in driver side will not work and radio will not come on. When I exit the car and shut door horn starts beeping, so now need to keep door shut to stop horn from beeping. Car worked perfect yesterday and last night. Last driven at midnight then woke up and this is the problem.

You will need to start tracing out wires and circuits and figure out where the short it. You will also need to get the leaking top addressed as well.

Thanks for the response. Any idea where to start tracing and could it be fuses?

Let me know any sub-model information/trim level and the real size of the engine and I will grab some schematics for you.

Start by checking the fuses. The radio's memory circuit can be tied in with the locks, interior lights, or some other circuit that is always live. The power locks will not lock when the doors are open.
