this has been this way for years but i'm curious to see if it's a simple problem or not. auto door locks use to lock all 4 doors. then a few years ago the drivers door stopped unlo9cking. I have to do this with a key. then the back passanger door, kitty cornor to the drivers stopped unlocking. Not sure but does a fuse 23a ring a bell to anyone. I read somewhere this or maybe it was a 30a is the fuse i need for the problem. in where the fuses go, it's big and silver. does this sound like a fuse problem or something bigger?

sounds like the lock motors are fried.tempo's(fords) are notorious for this.after all,the car is old?pop panel and they are riveted in.drill chisel rivets or work loose from rubber/nylon mount and replace.i get mine form boneyard and have tested before i buy.i think they use the same motor in several types of fords?
