Default Dodge Ram Van voltage drain

Power locks cycle on and off on their own, killing the batter several times. Pulled fuse on lock and battery problem solved. But the electric locks of course don't work. I want them too. Where to begin finding the lock system fault?

Pull a battery terminal. Place an amp meter between the terminal and the battery and put the fuse back in.

Remove door panels and unplug all power lock connectors.

Plug each back in until the power draw re-occurs. By process of elimination you should be able to find the malfunctioning lock. Best of luck.
