On my '99 fuse #3 covers the doorlocks. If you pull it the remote doesn'
lock/unlock anything. AFAIK, fuse #11 covers all the door locks up to a
least '94 models. Should be under the dash and should be numbered on th
board. If it's like the later ones, the map is round 180 degrees to th
actual board - can't remember!
Just a thought, try sitting on the ground with a mirror and a torch t
find the right # fuse(while *you* remain vertical) then use mirror an
fuse pliers to remove/check/swap it from the same position. Works on som
cars. Cheers

Thank you. I'll have to check that out.
