Both motor fuses were blown after replacing them both doors opened but they will not close. Thinking the control modual may have a problem, but I dont have time today to find and test it.

Have not located the door motors module yet. Took the air cleaner box out hoping to see it. Iguess I will have to take the tire off and well shield to see it.
