Power Locks don't work....why?

I have a 90 Ford Bronco and it is the XLT. It has all power but the power locks don't work. Yes, I checked the fuse but for some reason neither switch does anything. Can anyone give me ideas of what I can try to do to fix them?

The circuit includes BOTH switches, so if one of them goes bad or gets disconnected, or the circuit in between breaks anywhere, then the door locks won't work. If the fuse is good, check to make sure that both switches have good connections and that there aren't any shorts or broken wires. Maybe try swapping a known good switch in there and see what happens.

Thanx! I don't have any switches but I am sure I can find some. I will check to see if there are any broken wires.

What Bigric said..the passenger side is considered the master side tho for the power locks. I had to trace the wires starting on that side til it led me to a broken wire in the drivers side. Here is a link to the wiring diagram for the power locks. Hope it helps.
