Iv since had the dash back apart and replaced the door lock relay. Ive recently had the dash apart to fix the defrost diverter. Does it blow the fuse if so sounds like possibly a door lock actuator is going out and sticking causing the fuse to blow. Power door lock fuse keeps blowing.

If the power door lock relay fails it will cut off power to the entire power door lock. Power door locks are prone to failures due to electrical interruptions corrosion broken wires or blown fuses. To test disconnect all locks and switch then replace fuse if don t blow start with driver door and reconnect lock check fuse see if it blew if not reconnect switch active lock check fuse see if ok.

Power door locks that do not function are another common symptom for a problem with the door lock relay. When i got home i noticed the fuse for the door locks was blown.
