Central Door Locking Issues
Hi All: I've a '95 XJS convertible - 4.0L - having some issues with the central locking/ unlocking. I just replaced the door locking module and replaced the 10A fuse up in the passenger fuse block - doors and trunk will lock or unlock once then the fuse blows ... thinking it's not a short since the fuse doesn't blow without activating system.. wondering if I could have a weak or poor actuator that is over straining the circuit...
Any suggestions would be helpful - a part from disconnecting one actuator at a time and see if the fuse still blows - any other thoughts - I'm sure this has happened to others previously...
thanks in advance

I have new outer door gaskets coming so I'll pull everything apart once. most of the pictures I see of door lock assemblies look pretty corroded and cruddy so I think a good cleaning and lube will make a big difference - when they are apart I can test fire the actuators and see current draw. The drivers door handle seams a bit stiff to operate with the key - I suspect that may be the side with issue.. the passenger and trunk operate very smooth.. if a new door handle assembly wasn't so expensive I might just replace ...

the outer door handle part number BEC 8977 - does this part vary from a 1991 XJ6 - the BEC 8977 is supposed to fit a '92 thru '96 XJS -
I found one for a '91 Jag VP XJ6 - that looks identical from the pictures - I would transfer my lock cylinder and my "new" gasket etc.. the '91 version looks like it has a sensor or switch on the lock mechanism thinks that's to trigger the central locks -
I just don't want to order the wrong part -
