Doors Keep Unlocking After Heater Core Replacement

[Icychap]

I have an '02 T4R with ~123k miles. My heater core blew. Following the installation of the new one by a professional shop, I have 2 new problems:

1) My door locks unlock constantly, every few seconds. This occurs all the time - off, driving, doesn't matter. I'm concerned it will kill the battery, and wear out the solenoids or my sanity.

2) With the lights on and the antenna up I hear a buzz.

Clearly they did something wrong when reconnecting something while putting the dashboard back together. I will eventually have the mechanic fix his work, but right now I literally can't spare the time to go in again (assuming he has to take the dash out and find the ungrounded/pinched wire).

Is there some way I can simply disable the power locks (i.e. pull a fuse) in the meantime? If you know of a method, please help! Or is there some other fix here?

All suggestions welcome. Thanks!

Yeah I'd say there must be a fuse for the power door locks. Pull it until this mechanic figures out what he screwed up.

Any idea which fuse?

30A POWER fuse. You will also lose windows, sunroof, seats, etc.

There are two junction connectors J10 and J11 in the passenger kick panel. Those should kill it without killing anything else. They are black, rectangular and have 12 wires each.

Let me know if it works, please.

As for a fix, I would look for a loose connection to the Body ECU, on the back of the fuse panel by the driver's left knee. I can't see anywhere else that could do that without messing up something else.

Awesome, thank you so much - I'll check it out as soon as I can and get back to you.
