Sounds like you might have a wire that has been stripped of insulation somewhere in the power locks system rubbing against some metal, or maybe a ground wire has a break in the insulation which is rubbing against a hot wire with a break in the insulation, or a ground wire to the power locks has completely broken.

Maybe in the door jam the wires are getting pinched and as a result the insulation on the wire is stripped and/or the ground wire to one of the power locks is broken?

Does the fuse blow when you try to lock the doors with the driver's lock **** switch and driver's door switch?
