Don't do the classic fix that everyone seems to WANT to do and just keep putting a bigger fuse in until it stops blowing. The reason it does that is either on e of two things. 1) You have a loose ground so your fuse becomes the ground--therfore blowing it. 2) Their is high resistance in the circuit causing more amps than the fuse can handle to be sent to it. Number two is the more likely cause. Check your wiring. The less wire the electricity has to flow through, the more resistance you get in the circuit, therfore increasing amperage. Electricity is lazy--if you have a 20gauge wire for 15 amps of pressure and the wire gets correded or kinked it's gonna feel like a 25gauge wire, therfore causing electricity to just work harder to get to it's destiniation--ground--therfore increasing amperage.

also i can only unlock my my doors but when i press the button to lock it doesnt do nothing

I gotta know what wire that is in order to help you out a little more. Find out what the wire from the harness is and let me know, that woulod be a lot of help. As for your door locks--do you have a security system on it? Maybe the one the dealership put on for you?
