Default 06 charger power door locks

Last year my son hooked up jumper cables backwards and now the power door locks dont work. I checked all the fuses and circuit breakers in the trunk and under the hood but cant find any bad ones. When I use the remote the antitheft will activate but door locks do nothing. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Fuse 35 (5 amp) and Circuit breaker 3 are the power sources. Verify the fuse is actually good, and maybe swap breaker 3 with one of the others?

fuse 35 is good but has power only with key on. circuit 3 which i think is at the number 13 in the fuse box in the trunk has been switched and still no door locks. is there a relay someplace under the dash that could be bad?

Unfortunately, the switches and such merely 'suggest' to some module or other what you want, and the module decides if it really wants to. Or not.... You can find the wiring diagrams here, but, they spread over a couple pages, which makes 'em fun to follow. Yes, it's a Russian site, but, I've been using it for a couple years now, with zero issues.

Fixed had to change the gauge cluster now everything works as it should. Thanks for the help the wire diagram helped out tracking down the problem.

No its reading whatever the car I got the cluster out of. Is there a way for me to get it to read what is on my car or do I need to take it to the dealer?

I think even the dealer would have to send it out to have the mileage programmed. Best to just note the original mileage on the car when it was swapped in, and the mileage on the new cluster when it was installed.
