Door locks and lumbar support

My dads 93 f250 7.3 has around 200,000 miles on it .. recently the door locks and the lumbar support stopped working .. i checked the door switch and the seat switch for power and nothing. I check the fuse panel and I get power .. where else can i check to see where i am losing power from
also i pulled the door wiring back and probed the wiring there and no power or split wires
thank you for your help

I had to fix a Ford lumbar support once many years ago - can’t even remember the truck model

However, all the lumbar support was at the time was a piece of plastic between two metal supports that either spread apart of came together. It was accessed from the back of the seat just by taking apart the seat fabric (which was either velcro’d or buttoned in place). It was easy to get to and check

in my case, the plastic piece had broken. I think I just duct taped it back together

it's all powered from Circuit Breaker #12 no fuse..... it's a Black/white wire for all the power feeds.

obviously if the Radio, Map lights, and Glove box lights then you don't need to dig in the engine compartment... your problem is from behind the under dash fuse box and towards the seats and doors.

is there a common place the wire could break or short out ?
