Default Door locks help please

My automatic door locks stopped working from both the door switch and remote. There is a clicking over by the pass door. I am not even sure which fuse to check so help there to start would be great.

The power locks aren't directly fused. They are controlled by the Body Control Module (BCM) which is protected by the COURTESY fuse. But if that fuse was blown you'd notice a lot of other symptoms such as no coutesy lights. The BCM is mounted behind the glovebox so that is likely the source of the clicking noise. It may also be the source of your lock problem.

So did you test the COURTESY fuse? Never rely on visible inspection of a fuse - always use a tester or replace with a known good fuse. A fuse can look fine even when it's blown.

Im not sure where that one is. I am not very knowledgable when it comes to electrical stuff. Thanks for the help.

It's in the fuse panel on the left end of the dash. Open the driver's door and you will see a cover panel on the left end of the dash. Pull off the cover (it's held on with velcro) and you'll see all the fuses.
