2003 power door locks no joy

So looks like my BPM died. My door locks do not work on the fob nor the switch in the car. I'm not looking to putting $$$$ so what I really just need to know can the locks be operated by applying a +12 somewhere on the harness. My thought is if that can be done is put an a/b t switch on that point so I can get it to where I can operate the locks from the inside of the car. I found this below but want to confirm this is correct. So would it be safe to say if a added the resistance denoted below with a -12 to the right wires it would trip the locks?
Any advice or recs will be much appreciated


the Door Locking System is a 1-Wire, to LOCK requires a (-)Negative thru a 820 Ohm Resistor and to UNLOCK requires a (-)Negative thru a 330 Ohm Resistor, some units require 2 extra relays part #775

A few years ago some one on here had a fix for the windows. The drivers side control that works everything. He had a photo of the PC board and it showed a crack in the Solder connection and windows didn't work. Mine had quit working, so I took it out and it had a crack in the solder connection. I resoldered it and it has worked ever since. Could possible be what is wrong, Take a look and see can't hurt nothing. Just my 2 cents. Some one else might chime in on your problem.

Any shot you know where this board is located? Worth checking out if it's that simple.

Update:
Found the ckt board you mentioned previously and I do see 2 cold solder joints. I plan on redoing them all and see if that does it
