Power door lock fuse keeps blowing

[HoosierJeeper]

New issue - power door lock fuse keeps blowing (#6 20 amp fuse in the interior fuse block) Where should I start with this one? I'd guess there's a short somewhere? I checked the door jamb wiring on the driver's door and popped that door panel off, but didn't see anything grounding out. Any common places to check? It blows immediately when I put a new fuse in. Thanks!

Noticed the passenger side lock isn't coming up all the way so I pulled that door panel and disconnected the lock actuator and replaced the fuse - all good now! Just need to replace that actuator.

That's the kind of request we like, one that's solved before we get around to it.

It's a nice change LOL.

Does anyone have a preference on new aftermarket vs junkyard? About the same price. Not sure which is a better bet.

Aftermarket often = Chinese but vs a 20 year old part the jury is out!
