Default Power locks don't work

My power locks don't work. I can't find a fuse or relay for the locks. Can anyone help me as to where I should look? Is there another fuse box in the car that I am just not seeing? This is my first vette so any help would be apprieciated.

The door locks have two power sources (according to my Shop manual Electrical supplement) the CTSY fuse and a 35 amp circuit breaker located on the fuse panel. Somewhere behind the instrument panel there is a relay that controls the door locks. Any one of those components could cause your problem.
I highly reccomend the purchase of the shop manual and Electrical supplement,these are published by Helm and are absolutely essential if you're going to do anything to the car yourself! They are available thru any of the Corvette stores such as Corvette Central,Eckler's,Mid America,Corvette America,Zip and many others. There are also Haynes and Chilton manuals,but I would have the Helms book first!
The money saved on your first do-it-yourself repair will more than pay for the manual! Good Luck!

Thanks Ron I'm gonna order the manual this week. I do any work that I can myself, and some I probably shouldn't. I guess I'll wait until I get the manual before I start tearing my dash apart. The fuses are all good, so it must be a relay.
