:-(*^ Power locks :-(*&$%%# A/C
After checking all the wires in both doors, and to the fuse block. And checking the ground. I still blow fuses as soon as it touches the fuse block connection 
I have already replace the left door pigtail. I think I have a short in one of the switch's. So being they are 30 years old. I'll change everything. One more pigtail and two door lock switch's.
While I have the clove box out. I noticed that on top of the heater box there is a water cutoff switch. On this switch is a spring loaded button and 2 vacuum lines one black and one white. There is a cable connected to a gate. This cable connects to the A/C control on the console. When I push the **** to heat. The gate is pushed away from the water cutoff switch. On the gate bracket there is a small contact pad. So when I pull the leaver to the cold position it stops when it slightly touches the spring loaded button. If I adjust this cable so that the Pad presses against and depresses the button all the way. What would it do to my SO SO A/C???

That is the hot water shutoff valve control switch. It should get depressed with the temp control all the way to cold, but I don't remember if the hot water valve is open or closed with vac applied?
Disconnect the switches and the lock actuators and see what it does, that will eliminate the components of the lock system and tell you if it is wires or components

door locks
sounds like a short to me if it blows the fuse take your meter and set to ohms or conductivity disconect bat and ring out your wires if you get a tone or ohms reading there your short
