Power door locks on 1996 Ford Van
Hi,
Planning on getting my power door locks working again,
had a huge short on the right front door, the switch was melted so i clipped the wires that appeared to be the hottest about an inch from the switch,
anyways, it's no longed draining the battery, BUT, since i clipped these wires NONE of the power locks work, so i'm wondering, does this circuit have to be complete or is there a problem somewhere else? before i clipped them they kind of worked, but seemed like they had a power issue or something, sounded very weak, but now they don't do anything at all, i have the wiring diagram for the switches from https://www.alldatadiy.com/ but i don't see any way to diagnose the system,

The wiring and switch set-up is like a three way upstairs and downstairs hall light .
If you take one of the switches out of the circuit the circuit is now open and cannot work. Soooo, put the replacement switch in and you should be OK.
