Default Power door locks blowing fuse

Hey everyone, like the title says. Been having this problem all of a sudden. I'm thinking it's a bad ground, but I can't find the correct wiring schematic.


Does anyone have one or some advice on how to fix this? Standard is a 25 amp fuse which only blows when I lock the doors, not unlock. I put in a 30 and that worked for a while, but now that blew.


Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Well, I cannot help with the issue but its always a bad idea to put a higher rated fuse in to prevent it from blowing..

Especially if it works for a while then blows.. That means its getting more amperage than it should for longer than it should..

I doubt it would start a fire but thats always a concern when allowing additional amperage.

Yea. I didn't want to leave the 30 amp in there. Just used it so my locks would work without always using the key.
