Power locks problem
 
I have a 91 240 and the power locks just stopped working. Now everytime I go out to the car, the battery is dead. I actually have to pull the fuse for the power locks when i'm not driving it and the battery won't die. If I don't pull the fuse, the battery dies. Any ideas?

It's a common problem for the wires in the door to go bad and short against the metal frame. Then the lock becomes constantly energized and drains the battery.

So I need to take the door apart?

Yes. Do the power locks work using the key vs. the lock/unlock lever inside the car?

This might help to isolate:

When I ise the key, it only unlocks / locks the drivers side door.
