All
  The vehicle in question is an 87 Wolfie with power locks and auto
tranny.  I've got an 87 Syncro also with power locks but that has
added to the confusion.  Here's the problem:  The power locks worked
great when I got it back in February but now they've completely
revolted against me.  I went to pull the fuse (much like I had done on
the Syncro a few years ago) and instead of the three fuses on top of
the fuse panel there were only two!  I break out the Bentley and of
course, no picture just some text.  I manage (suffer) with the locks
fighting me but today they push me over the edge.  They refuse to
lock.  I pull every fuse in the panel and they're still unlocked.  Now
I have to spend the night in the van outside the house with my
Remington 870 pump 12 Ga shotgun (not the best neighborhood) and it's
damn hot in FL.  I know the archives have a lot on the power locks and
especially the wires in between the door jam and door gets broken. 
That's the only thing I can think of and maybe one of them is forcing
them open.  IF you have any idea what this may be or why I can't find
the proper fuse (both of the top mounted fuses are out) then throw me
a bone.  No telling what the neighbors are thinking when I come out of
the van at 0600 with a shotgun across my back (aside from, "don't
sneak up on that guy in the van!"  You can Pmail me at
