Power door lock issue
1980 model, Power door locks werent working. I replaced driver side actuator both switches and harnesses. With driver side switch connected when i connect the switch on the right side the fuse blows. Anyone have an idea what causes this. New harness is properly wired, and both switches are new. The old swithes and harness didnt cause the fuse to blow but didnt operate the locks. Could I have gotten a bad switch or is something else cause the problem. All suggestions/ideas appreciated. I still have the right actuator to change but dont see how that is the probolem.
