Default Door lock problem

Hi? My 82 corvette power door lock is not working.
Where can i locate the fuse that control power door lock?
Left and right switch moves up and down when i press/push them but nothing happens. I dont even hear any click or movement inside the door.
My power windows works just fine.
How do i go about to fix this problem

On my 81 the locks are on the same circuit as the courtesy lights. Were they working previously? When I got my 81 the locks did not work and after pulling the door panels I found the solenoids were removed by a previous owner. I replaced them and then found I had a bad ground. Once I fixed that then I found the switches were shot. After I replaced the switches they worked fine.
