Also check to see if maybe Fuse No. 3 down under the passenger side of the dashboard is loose or making bad contact.

I experienced a similar power door lock issue. It'* possible one of the contacts under the switch plates(driver or passenger) is making contact ALL the time.

Good advice! I bet if the switch is always on then the circuit breaker kicks in and shuts the locks off.

No, i have manuelly lock and unlock it. using the red switch, i just recently have been able to take apart my drivers side door cuz my power window dont work. but it was too cold to take apart the passenger side door but i was hopeing for something a little easier then that cuz its a pain. maybe what fuses or relays to check.
