Door locks will not lock or unlock by keypad or key-fob. The dome light will come on or go off with key-fob it was about one time a mouth blowing a fuse #38 roll 1 second fuse. Now I put fuse in it blows it. It is not wires to doors or door lock accumulator those are fixed door no door ajar light all doors closed. Where do I look next? Wire is grounded somewhere.

Hello,

It sounds like you have a door lock actuator that is shorting out. The problem is figuring out which one. I would start by removing the door panels (1 at a time) and disconnecting the lock acuators and then replacing the fuse. Do this trail and error method until the fuse doesn't not blow.

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
