RED SHARK 1990

Hello members i needed your help on a recent 2 weeks project.Changed the new door lock with alarm everything went in kinda smooth -second time around i broke the metal ball part last week and had 928 redo again.Well after 5 hours of trying to adjust the lock-i am dumb founded-i can lock drivers side ,but the passenger side is armed but not lock.The drivers side i can use the key to lock both doors and armed the alarm.The central lock works fine.I even took the door panel and tried everything from adjusting the actuator,the lock side bolt moved up and down-but nothing work......I went on the forum last night 1 am looking for help in the search section-i disconnected the battery this morning ,it did not work-i am trying to find the door lock 400ma fuse and looking at the fuse box and cannot located.Well i had to rest on it and my head hurts.....i changed the trunk release mechanism with a new one and it works great,also did the roller cable with a new one and clip.Door panel just cover in leather and redo-new tweeter-wiring etc that came out fine.

The door lock fuses are two small in-line fuses that sometimes drop behind the Central Electric Panel, sometimes dangle in front of it.

Wally has suggested exactly what I would have.

Inspect those 2 fuses.

They are located within a plastic 'capsule' found in the middle of two wires in the fuse panel area.

Mrmerlin

the wires that they are talking about are thin red with either a white or yellow stripe.
The clips for them are in the top center of the CE panel just clipped behind the top edge. There should also be 2 black fuse type connectors in these clips. You may have to drop the CE panel after disconnecting the battery to find them

Hello guys i saw the box clear in color sit atop the fuse panel with some type copper wire inside its about 2 inches long held by clip,but i am not sure .Do i have to removed the 2 bolts to get to this thing?also do i have to disconnect the battery too.

Mrmerlin

that is not the red wires under the clear cover, those are for the power to the CE panel.
Remove the 2 screws that hold the CE panel to its mount and then tip it down you should see a set of thin wires sitting behind the CE panel//// Disconnect the battery first

Assuming we are talking about a 1990 car - you don't have those inline door lock fuses - they only existed up through '88.

Is fuse 17 good?
Test the connections at the lock

For the 3 wires going to the alarm activation switch

1) What happens if you ground the Brown/Green wire?
2) What happens if you ground the Brown/red wire?
3) Do you have a solid ground on the brown wire?

4) When you unlock does the Brown/Green wire get grounded by the lock switch?
5) When you lock does the Brown/Red wire get grounded by the lock switch?

For the 5 wires going to the lock drive motor & lock state switch:

6) Is there a solid ground on the Brown wire?
7) Do you see ground connectivity on just one of the Blue/White or Green/White wires?
8) Do you see this connectivity switch to the other wire when you switch lock states with the key?
