What fuse is used for power locks? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**ScottH** · 10-15-2011, 10:23 AM

Just picked up a 87 swb yesterday and the power locks r not working at all, either switch. I know it could be the switches, or actuators, but figured I would check out the fuse first. I looked at the fuse box but could not see any labeled for power locks. Both windows work, well barely, which tells me they at least have power.

Any info or suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thanks
Scott

The locks have a silver metal circuit breaker that is the size of a fuse and plugs in like a fuse.....
I think it's a 30 or 40 amp

Thanks Joe, found out the problem was both switches were bad.
Took them apart, cleaned the contacts and now they r working.
The drivers side actuator isnt working but at least the passengers side is, for both switches.
