Hi,

Buick Regal 93 3.8, when using LOCK button on any of the two front doors,
the 15amp courtesy fuse blows, looks like a short to me, but where?

Remote control work for unlocking but not for locking, when I push the lock
button, the courtesy light lit for about half a second and nothing append to
the locks...normaly, the door are supposed to lock and courtesy lights
should stay on for several seconds....

I noticed that the passenger side floor mat is soaked with water, any
relation?

What I did so far:

Removed chime module with AutoDoorLock, no luck
Reached the interior of right side dash via kickpanel in search of water
evidence...none found.

Any clue?

   Check wetness for anti-freeze, which would indicate a heater core gone
bad, leaking into floorboard.  Some, not great,  possibility that wetness
has shorted wiring to door locks & causing the fuses to blow.  HTH, s

Yeah, fortunatly, it's plain water, mind you, all this happened after a good
rain...

Cant locate the source of the water infiltration...will do some more digging
this weekend...

will take a closer look at the doorlock relay...
