my power door locks keep blowing my fuse. my mechanic friend figured a broken wire in the wiring harness between the door and truck. any thoughts?

 

upon further investigation i found that the actuator on the passenger side is shot. i can hear it trying to lock some of the time, then the fuse lets go. are they expensive, or hard to change? do i need the whole latch assembly or just the actuator?

 

The actuator should be a separate assembly, since the latches and locks are the same, for production reasons.<br>You could try a junk yard, or the dealer.<br><br>Chris<br>

 

i pulled the unit out and found it to be one unit. thanks for the reply.

 

changed the actuator today and now it will unlock till the cows come home, but locking doesn't work and blows the fuse pretty much instantly. &gt; ??? &gt; ???i need some help here. still can't find broken wires in between the doors.
