Does anyone know if there is more than one fuse that goes to the Power Door Locks on a 1997 Tahoe LT. I know that the A circuit is for the power seats and for the power locks and my power seats work. It states in the owners manual that number 13 fuse is for the cigarette lighter and Door Lock Relay but my number 13 fuse has a short in it and its been like that since I've had the vehicle for six months and my power locks just stopped working last week. If there is anyone with the same vehicle would you mind pulling your number 13 fuse and still see if your power locks work. If anyone has any other ideas could you please get back to me.

Your right, there are two fuses that run directly to the power door lock relays.
I pulled this from a 1997 tahoe wiring diagram that I had found.
I don't know the fuse number of the second fuse though, or which one it is in the fuse panel. You might have to look that part up.

Fuse keeps blowing
I put two different fuses in the Fuse 13 slot and the fuse blew both times. Just wondering what I should do, when I pulled the fuse there was a 25 fuse in there but it calls for a 20 so I tried a 20 and then a 25 and it blew both times.

Fuse 13 cover, If installed, Power Amp, Rear Lift gate(release switch I believe), Cig lighter, Door lock relay, and power lumbar seats. You Could unplug each component at its connector to isolate it form the bunch to dee if it still blows. But since you not would activate anything intesionally yet start with about 5-10 fuses first.

Match number below with diagram. By doing C212 first you can disabble about evereything except the cigar lighter and liftgate hatch(if installed) at once from your fused supply wire.

I'm going to have a friend of mine look at these diagrams, not to electrically inclined. When I look at the diagram I see that the Power amplifier relay is in the Suburban only. The reason that I'm asking is that my son had a new head unit put in his truck and it seemed that the power locks stopped working after that I believe, just wondering if that could have been a problem. I also see that these diagrams are from 1996 but I imagine that they would be the same for a 1997 Tahoe. The cigarette lighter has never worked in the vehicle since he's owned it and it doesn't have the liftgate hatch. Why would I start with 5, 10 fuses after I unplug C212 because then there would be nothing active on the circuit. Also where is the convenience center located. Thanks for your help.

I forget where exactly but there is supposed to be a power door lock reley in the dash. Perhaps it messed with the radio install?
I recomended small fuses becuase if it shorts out as soon as you plug it in I was concerned that with high amp fuses that it may stress the wire to much and too many times with those high amps and may eventually cause a fire.
When the problem gets fixed where it does not blow any more I would be safer to go back to the original fuse.
Just trying to find a safe way.
