Electric Door Locks Blow Fuses

OK guy's scratch your heads. "99" Limited. Had the truck in the shop for
some brake work and a minor detail (wash, vac) Picked it up and was again
pleased with the dealers work.Came home,parked in the garage. Hence didn't
bother to check/lock doors!

Next morn. went out to the store. Got out and hit the door lock "fob",
nuthing! Locked with the key and did my business. Of course tried the
electric unlock and didn't work. Checked, yup, blown fuse!
Came home did a little troubleshooting and went thru five fuses. Doors open,
closed. windows up, down etc. This fuse also controls the power seats (
manual doesn't reflect this). Tried everything short of pulling the door
panels (as yet). With new fuse seats work as usual!
Even tho it just came out of the shop, there should be no correlation
between the work done (brakes, detail) and the door locks. ANY suggestions
or similar problems??
BTW: did call the Service Dept. and chatted. They have offered to
troubleshoot, but hate to run it back, if I can locate the prob. and fix.
Six years same dealer, great bunch of folks!

Does the fuse blow when you unlock or lock, or it does not matter. Also
does it blow when you use the passenger side, drivers side or it does
not matter. I'm just trying to help you narrow the problem down. Also,
when you use your keyfob to lock or unlock, does the fuse still blow?

Doesn't seem to matter what function you use! Lock/Unlock,keypad/Fob, still
pops the fuse. Even had all the doors open, tried the hatch release button.
Still same problem. Was hoping there was a disconnect at a central location
that I could isolate which door might be the culprit. Guess the next move is
to pull "a" door panel and check for broken or "short to ground". Only thing
I can figure out is" maybe the folks at the Dealer" may have locked the keys
in the car during service and had to use a "Slim Jim", which has a high
incidence of wiping out the electric door system. They are great in a dire
emergency, but can cause big problems!
Will (I guess) start with the drivers side door!
Thnx for the input.
