Both power locks not working

On my 89, I've had the door panels off for a year. I have since ran new speaker wire and had the console tore apart for other things. I went to put the door panels back on and noticed both of the power locks don't work. When I hit the switch, nothing happens.

I know the switches are good cause they rolled the windows up and down. So, it must be somewhere in the wiring as it is affecting both sides. I checked the fuses in the fuse box, and they are good.

Is there a relay or solenoid somewhere, or what could cause both power locks not to work?

The other thing is my mirror toggle switch was working, but acting up. So I drilled a hole in it to clean the inside, but that killed the switch as it didn't work. I bought another toggle switch, and the guy said it would have been checked to make sure it worked. Well, the new toggle switch doesn't do anything. So, I'm guessing he sold me a bad switch, or the problem with the locks are related. But I know my old switch was working just a week ago, so I'm betting the new switch is bad.

Well I had played with it for 2 hours and couldn't get both of the power locks to do anything. I ended up finding a power door lock PDF file and I put a test light on the Orange/black wire at the plug in the door and put that to the battery ground.

Well, the test light lite up. So, I put the switches back in and now both of the switches are locking/unlocking the doors. I have no idea what changed from the past 2 hours, but they both seem to be working now. Strange.
