Default Door Locks

Whenever I click my automatic door locks in my 1984 Corvette, you can hear a clicking sound in the center of the dash but nothing happens with the door locks at all? My driver side door panel is off and the actuator moves quite freely with all the other rods.

Since you have the panel off I put a light on the actuator wires and confirm that all is plugged in.

If the breaker has been removed because of problems with the seats, the power locks won't work either, but the relay will still click.

Check that the PWR ACCY breaker is installed and functional.

Well that would make sense on why my power seats dont work either bruh

Make sure your car starts before you put the door panel back on. Because you may be triggering your alarm which will prevent it from cranking.
It's all tied together with the relay you hear clicking.
